What does Davidovich mean with his enigmatic messages in Shanghai?
Alejandro Davidovich is breaking molds at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2026 and emerging as one of the fittest players on the circuit at this stage of the season. Many Spanish fans are calling for a new opportunity for the Malaga native in the Davis Cup and, perhaps for that reason, the enigmatic messages he is sending by signing on camera after his matches are starting to be interpreted as hints to David Ferrer.
"I'm eh", he signed upon defeating Tiafoe. Meanwhile, after reaching the semifinals, he put another subliminal message on camera: "Waiting". It’s possible that it has nothing to do with the matter and Davidovich is playing a bit with everyone, but the truth is it’s hard not to think that they are hints to the Spanish captain of the Davis Cup, with whom he has had a strained relationship since November of last year.
Del 'Estoy eh' al 'Esperando...' 🤔 Foki claramente mandando señales a España para recibir una llamada la semana que viene que le lleve a Bolonia el mes de noviembre. En la lista filtrada no aparece su nombre entre los primeros 4 tenistas. Veremos qué sucede tras su gran semana en Shanghai.

Davidovich seems to be asking Ferrer for a new opportunity in the Davis Cup
Davidovich did not understand being left off the list for theDavis Cup Finals last year, while Ferrer argued that he had called him as the fifth player and he had declined to take on that role. The captain explained that he wanted to keep Fokina's call-up in doubt until the last moment because on previous occasions he had withdrawn at the last minute from the national team competition.
A dispute arose between the two that led to a cold war, and when everything seemed lost, Alejandro Davidovich is regaining his best form and could claim a new opportunity to defend Spain in Bologna this year. It remains to be seen whether the signed messages on camera and, above all, those he is sending with his tennis level, are enough for David Ferrer to decide to give him a new chance in theDavis Cup.
