After his injury at the ATP Umag in July and following a great grass court season, with a title in Mallorca and reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon, Alejandro Davidovich was forced to withdraw from the entire North American hard court swing, culminating in the US Open, due to ongoing back issues that just wouldn’t go away. However, these discomforts seem to be a thing of the past, given the level he has shown upon his return during the Asian swing, specifically at the ATP Chengdu, where he is already in the semifinals.

Alejandro Davidovich aims to play in Chengdu for his sixth ATP final

The tournament's number two seed in the Chinese event defeated Alexander Muller 6-1, 7-5 in the quarterfinals, after one hour and 20 minutes. He becomes Muller’s second victim in this first week in Asia, having debuted with a victory over Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (6-4, 6-4). Now, in his quest to reach his sixth final, he will have to face a veteran like Nikoloz Basilashvili, against whom he lost in their only previous encounter, which dates back to 2021.

After this victory and with his passage to the semifinals, Davidovich rises one spot to 28th place. Should he win against the Georgian and reach the final in Chengdu, he would rise to 26th place, as he aims to lift his second ATP title of his career. The other semifinal will pair the winner of the match between Denis Shapovalov and Adrian Mannarino and the duel between Lloyd Harris and Hubert Hurkacz.

After this tournament, Davidovich will switch countries to participate in the ATP 500 in Tokyo, where Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Jódar will also be present. Then, he will return to China to participate in the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, before returning to Europe for the indoor hard court European swing, where he reached the final at the ATP 500 in Basel last year.
