Alejandro Davidovich has not started the grass court season the way he would like, with an early defeat at ATP Stuttgart 2026, but he has high expectations to perform well in the upcoming tournaments after showing some doubts during the clay court season. Additionally, he has revealed how he prepares for the following weeks where everything is so different compared to the rest of the year.

Grass is unlike any other surface. During the one-month-long season, players who were barely visible a few days ago suddenly shine, and the game changes completely. Aces everywhere, slice shots, net play... everything is different. In fact, Davidovich mentioned that he practices on hard courts before traveling to Germany for the first grass court tournament, which helps him arrive with good feelings as he shared in an interview with Tennis TV.

"For many years I have followed the same routine. After Roland Garros, I take two days off and practice on hard courts because ultimately they are more similar to grass. I go straight to Stuttgart, have two days of preparation there, and then start playing only on grass," he highlighted. This time it didn't work out for him as he lost in his debut against Mattia Bellucci, and now he is focusing on his Queen's match against Cameron Norrie, where he will face the local crowd.

Why does Davidovich transform his body during the grass court season

Furthermore, the Spanish tennis player has also explained the key points to consider to reach the optimal level during this season, as you need to even transform your body due to the conditions you face in each match. "The key to grass is to keep your center of gravity low and prepare your shoulder to serve stronger. I try to strengthen my shoulder at the gym to have it stronger than the rest of my body."

As for his expectations, he prefers to not set goals, although he admits it is a surface he enjoys. In fact, in other years we have seen him come to the net and dive for balls or be part of an epic match at Wimbledon. "If I win, I will enjoy the grass court season, and if not, I will think about the next tournament. It's always fun to play on grass because it's not very common to play on this surface, and you do different things, but a month is enough." Davidovich on clay is a guaranteed show, and he will try to prove it as he gains confidence match after match.
