Alejandro Davidovich advanced to the big final of ATP Basel 2025. The Spanish tennis player, ranked number 18 in the world, defeated a tough Ugo Humbert with a score of 7-6(4) and 3-1 in 1 hour and 19 minutes of play until the Frenchman retired due to physical problems.
Just about 10 minutes later, the circuit physiotherapist entered the court to address some discomfort in the lower back/waist area of the French player. Despite the on-court feelings turning quite cold, the Frenchman tried to maintain parity on the scoreboard.
Neither Alejandro nor Ugo were able to break serve, and Humbert was once again treated with increasing levels of concern. This continued until the Frenchman found himself with a set point in his favor, although the player from Malaga stood strong from the baseline, attacking his opponent's backhand, to stay in the match.

As the clock reached an hour, Humbert and Davidovich faced off in a tiebreak where the balance continued. Taking control with his forehand from the baseline, the Spanish player raised his game to pump his fist and claim the first set of the match. A tremendous release after a set where errors proved decisive in the tiebreaker.
With winners on both sides, Alejandro gained more confidence in his game, all against a Humbert who deteriorated and increasingly struggled to hide his discomfort. Finally, much like what happened in the quarterfinals against Casper Ruud, Ugo withdrew due to the clear advantage of the Spanish player, who secured his spot in the final of ATP Basel 2025.
