Alejandro Davidovich is now ready to fight for his second ATP title, after winning one last June at the ATP 250 in Mallorca, following his advancement to the final of the ATP 250 in Chengdu by coming from behind against Nikoloz Basilashvili. In this way, he reaches the seventh final of his career and ensures he leaves the Chinese tournament as the world number 26.

But on the other side of the net will be a giant server like Hubert Hurkacz. The Polish player, a former top 10, who has recovered from a knee injury that forced him to undergo surgery, reached the final after coming back in the semifinals against a tough opponent like Denis Shapovalov. In fact, it took him two hours and 26 minutes to secure his spot in tomorrow's great final with a score of 6-7(10), 6-3, 6-3.

The Polish player is regaining the level lost due to the aforementioned injury. In fact, he was forced to play on the Challenger circuit upon his return to the courts to regain rhythm, play, and sensations. He is currently ranked number 46 in the ATP rankings, but after reaching the final, he ensures he will be number 41. Meanwhile, if he lifts his ninth title tomorrow, he would rise to the 37th position.

Davidovich leads the head-to-head with Hurkacz: 4-2

The two players have faced each other six times previously, with four victories for Davidovich and two for Hurkacz. The most recent encounter was at the United Cup in 2024, where the Spaniard won by 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Previously, they met in the first round of Wimbledon 2022, with a victory for Foki, and the two wins for the Polish player came consecutively, first at the 2021 Cincinnati Masters 1000 and then at the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open. Meanwhile, the first two duels were won by the Spaniard at the 2021 ATP 250 in Montpellier and at the 2020 US Open.
