Alejandro Davidovich always surprises us with one of his own. The Malagueño was playing his quarterfinal match at the ATP Adelaida 2026 against Valentin Vacherot when he requested a challenge on a ball that, in his opinion, was very dubious. However, Hawk-Eye showed that the ball had not only gone out but had gone out by quite a distance, which caused laughter from the stands, as well as from the Spanish player, the Monegasque, and even the chair umpire.
