Davidovich withdraws from the US Open due to a back issue

A significant withdrawal we learned about this morning in the Armed Forces regarding the US Open 2026. Alejandro Davidovich will not be able to compete in the American tournament as he continues to suffer from back problems. The man from Málaga has been experiencing these issues since this summer, during the last tournament in Umag, and he was already unable to participate in the M1000 events of this tour.

This setback comes at a difficult time for Foki, who managed to win his first ATP title at the beginning of the summer and had a great tournament at Wimbledon, resembling the incisive and dangerous player he always was at his peak. Although an injury never comes at a good time, this break and missing these important tournaments cause him to lose a major opportunity ahead.

Not being able to compete in these tournaments will cause Fokina to drop in the Ranking and find himself on the brink of falling out of the Top 30. Although this may not be his biggest concern right now, he needs to be healthy to defend that position and to finish the year with a ranking that allows him to remain a seeded player in the main tournaments of the circuit.

Davidovich withdraws from the US Open, affecting the wildcards

With the withdrawal of the player from Madrid, along with Emilio Nava’s, Bonzi and Popyrin enter directly into the draw. The Australian had received a wildcard from his federation as part of the agreement that the Slams have with various federations, which means that a spot will open up for another Australian player who will not be at the US Open since he cannot enter the draw directly.

Davidovich will be missed, as this resolves one of the first uncertainties for the Spanish players who were in doubt about participating in New York. We hope the next updates will bring better news than this.
