Alejandro Davidovich bid farewell to the 2026 Australian Open in the worst possible way, by retiring. The Spaniard showed physical discomfort in his third-round match against Tommy Paul, and at the end of the second set, with the scoreline at a resounding 6-1, 6-1 in favor of the American. The physical demands of his match against Reilly Opelka have taken a toll, leaving only one Spanish player in contention: Carlos Alcaraz. In fact, Alcaraz would be Paul's next opponent, provided he defeats Corentin Moutet.
