The consequences in the ranking for Davidovich after winning the title in Shanghai
Alejandro Davidovich has found the most important achievement of his professional career in Shanghai. The player from Malaga won his first Masters 1000 this Sunday by coming back against Rafa Jódar and making a significant leap in the ATP ranking. At 27 years old, the Spaniard reaches a new dimension and confirms that he still has room to continue growing.
The title will allow him to position himself at number 13 in the ATP ranking, the best ranking of his entire career. Davidovich thus surpasses the ceiling he had previously reached, number 14, and comes closer to the world top 10. After several years alternating great performances with periods of inconsistency, his victory in China represents an opportunity to solidify his place among the best players on the circuit.
The ATP Finals, still a complicated dream
The other major consequence of his victory is found in the ATP Race, the ranking that determines who competes in the ATP Finals in Turin. Davidovich moves up to position number 14, a spot that keeps him mathematically in the fight to access the tournament that gathers the eight best players of the season.
However, the path remains very complicated. The Spaniard still has a significant distance to close and will need to maintain the level he showed in Shanghai during the last commitments of the calendar. The indoor European tour, with significant tournaments like Paris, will be crucial to see how far his candidacy can go.

In any case, Davidovich has already achieved something fundamental: to be in a privileged position to close the year with the best feelings of his career. His title in Shanghai, the third of the season following those won in Mallorca and Chengdu, further confirms his extraordinary 2026. Only Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton have lifted more trophies than him this year.
The ATP Finals remain a distant goal, but the player from Malaga has already conquered a target he has been pursuing for a long time. And now, with his best historical ranking, he can aspire to more.
