Davidovich is back: comeback and one step away from the Hangzhou title.

After several months in the shadows, following a spectacular start to summer with his first ATP title in Mallorca and a round of 16 finish at Wimbledon, but marred by a back injury that prevented him from competing in the North American hard court swing, Alejandro Davidovich is back, and in a big way. In the Spanish player’s first tournament since July, he reaches the final of the ATP Chengdu after coming back against Nikoloz Basilashvili 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

In this way, he accesses his seventh ATP final, the first in this Asian swing, after overcoming the always tricky and volatile Basilashvili. A player who, when calm and collected, can overwhelm anyone with his powerful and rhythmic tennis. He did so in the first set against the Malagueño, but managed to stem the bleeding starting in the second to gradually pave the way to victory.

Alejandro Davidovich will play the seventh ATP final of his career and will seek his second title

In the final, he awaits the winner of the match between Hubert Hurkacz and Denis Shapovalov. He has a favorable record against the Pole with four wins to two, although they haven't faced each other since the United Cup in 2024, which ended with a win for Foki. Meanwhile, against the Canadian, the statistics favor the North American with 2-1, with their last encounter in the quarterfinals of ATP Dallas this year.

Whether Alejandro Davidovich manages to lift his second ATP title or finishes as the runner-up, it will have consequences for the ATP ranking, ensuring he exits Chengdu as number 26 in the world. Before defeating Basilashvili, Davidovich won his debut against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 6-4, 6-4 and in the quarterfinals, comfortably defeated Alexandre Muller 6-1, 7-5.
