Alejandro Davidovich is facing one of the best opportunities of his sports career at the ATP Mallorca 2026. As we said yesterday, it was his moment, and a good level of tennis in the coming days could seriously bring him closer to his first ATP title... and indeed, the Malaga native has stepped up. Today, in the quarterfinals of the Balearic tournament against Grigor Dimitrov, he delivered a fabulous performance to dispatch the Bulgarian in just 1 hour and 13 minutes (6-3, 6-3) and now stands just two steps away from his first ATP title.
It is the big thorn in his career, and the level he is displaying on the island soil could bring him very close to removing it. Today he faced a tough test, perhaps more due to his prestige and history rather than his current form, but at no point was Foki intimidated by the pedigree of the Bulgarian: he was clinical saving break points (5 out of 6), dominated the baseline, protected his second serves very well (winning 70% of second serve points compared to Dimitrov's 32%), and was explosive with his first serve, even hitting 6 aces. A great performance to build a very positive foundation, also looking forward to Wimbledon.
Well, that was fun! 🤪

The Competitors Who Can Prevent Davidovich from Claiming the Title
The next challenge for the Malaga player will be against Fabian Marozsan. The Hungarian is not an easy opponent by any means, and today he also demonstrated his adaptation to the grass in Mallorca, defeating Miomir Kecmanovic with some ease (6-4, 6-3). Their only match-up, however, resulted in a victory for Foki, who already defeated him in Dubai 2024 with a score of 6-3, 4-6, and 6-1.
On the top half of the draw, two dark horses with experience in the later rounds appear, although nowhere near the same level as the Malaga player. Nuno Borges overcame Luciano Darderi, the top seed, confirming his magnificent year and positioning himself as the prime candidate to reach the final; he will have to stop the youth of Ethan Quinn, whose shots are flying in Mallorca. The American is also a contender to claim his first ATP title; a final between him and Davidovich would surely be a nerve-wracking duel.
