Davidovich will be the fifth man from Spain in the Davis Cup finals
As confirmed by Punto de Break, David Ferrer has rewarded the great Asian tour of the Spanish tennis player and will have him in Bologna.
Alejandro Davidovich will be the fifth man from Spain in the finals of Davis Cup to be held in Bologna from November 24 to 29. After days of uncertainty, captain David Ferrer has decided to reward the great Asian tour of the Spanish player, thus completing a list that allows hope for lifting the title in a few weeks.
Up to this point, it was known that Carlos Alcaraz, Rafa Jódar, Marcel Granollers, and Pedro Martínez would form the initial quartet, and it remained to be seen who the fifth would be, which will be made official this Monday, October 26. However, Punto de Break has confirmed that the man will be Alejandro Davidovich, who just won the ATP Chengdu and his first Masters 1000 in Shanghai, defeating Jódar in the final.
Throughout the week in Shanghai, Davidovich had left some hints to Ferrer suggesting he was available for the call, and that insistence (especially his good results) has paid off. There were other options like Jaume Munar, Dani Mérida, or Martín Landaluce, but the great form of 'Foki' has been decisive for him to be the fifth member heading into an event where 'La Armada' has a strong chance of going far and winning that sought-after Davis Cup 7 years after lifting it in 2019. Moreover, it would be a dream farewell for David Ferrer, who will leave the position ahead of 2027 for Marc López to take over.
Davidovich's career takes a 180-degree turn
Regarding Davidovich, it is noteworthy how much he has changed in just a few months. In a tough year where he had to deal with some injuries, Davidovich won this summer that coveted first ATP title in Mallorca after losing several finals in a very cruel manner. As he himself confessed, that helped him lift a weight off his shoulders, and from then on he has played like an angel.
He didn't mind being out for a few weeks due to injury after that victory, as he returned in the Asian tour like a shot and has shown himself to be practically unbeatable, even beating Alexander Zverev, who will soon be the world number 1. Ferrer knows that Alejandro is going through the best moment of his career, and after not counting on him last year, this time he decided to include him in the team to form a luxury quintet in Bologna.
