Alejandro Davidovich wants to be a prince in Monaco. The Spaniard once again showed his affinity with the Masters 1000 of Monte Carlo and secured his spot in the semifinals after dominating Alexei Popyrin from start to finish, who arrived with an empty gas tank. 'Foki' claimed victory with a convincing 6-3, 6-2 and awaits Carlos Alcaraz or Arthur Fils in the penultimate round of the tournament. It's already 18 victories in 2025 for the Malaga native, who aims to continue his rise in a tournament where he always displays his best tennis.

It was the first time Alejandro Davidovich and Alexei Popyrin faced each other. Possibly, two players who few would have expected in these Monte Carlo quarterfinals. But both showed in the past how well they adapt to the clay of the Principality, especially the Spaniard, who was a finalist in 2022.

The initial games unfolded with the expected parity. Davidovich controlling from the baseline and Popyrin not giving up a chance with his serve. The match starting time (11:00) and the partially filled stands resulted in a lack of the anticipated competitive tension.

Foki, with clear ideas

Nevertheless, this didn't bother the Spaniard as he put on his working boots to try to break the always aggressive and challenging Australian's serve. He had several opportunities during the sixth game of the first set, but Popyrin neutralized them all.

Still, the Malaga native didn't lose his composure and stayed focused on the court, controlling most of the exchanges. He persisted on the Australian's serves, achieved the break to make it 5-3, and definitively secured the first set with a score of 6-3.

From that point on, Popyrin vanished. The fatigue accumulated from his previous matches, all going to three sets, became apparent, and in the blink of an eye, Davidovich was leading 4-0. The Spaniard didn't want to relax for a moment and continued firm in his game. Much more consistent and, above all, calmer than the day before against Jack Draper.

Popyrin capitulated decisively, and the Spaniard closed the match at 6-3 and 6-2 to reach the semifinals of the Monegasque tournament for the second time. Without making much noise and with very serious tennis, Davidovich is two matches away from claiming a tournament that suits him wonderfully.
