Alejandro Davidovich had to take a break after the Umag tournament due to an untimely back injury that made him miss the entire North American tour. Being unable to compete in the Masters 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati, as well as the US Open, was a significant blow for a player whose season had been notable.

Winning the first title of his career in Mallorca and performing well at Wimbledon, where he lost in five sets in the round of 16 to Auger-Aliassime, promised an exciting end to the year. However, this physical issue halted his momentum. The Spaniard returned to competition at the ATP 250 Chengdu 2026 with a convincing victory over Juanma Cerúndolo, 6-4, 6-4, and the hope of quickly regaining his best form.

 

Davidovich seeks his second career title in Chengdu

Davidovich enters as the second seed in a tournament where he will face Cinà or Muller in the quarterfinals, and his main contenders for the title could be Brooksby, Shapovalov, Hurkacz, or Vacherot, although it is difficult to make predictions in a truly open tournament with many players seeking a golden opportunity to become champions of an ATP event.

There was a lot of eagerness to see one of those players back on the court, who always bring something different and guarantee an exciting spectacle. Alejandro Davidovich has many challenges ahead and, above all, no special competitive pressure. Nothing to lose and much to gain for the Spaniard in the remainder of the season, making this ATP 250 Chengdu 2026 an interesting starting point in his career.
