It's a pleasure to watch Alejandro Davidovich play when he's in the zone. The Malaga native embraced the role of counterpuncher and ultimately frustrated Zhizhen Zhang in his debut at the ATP Beijing 2024, dealing a tough blow to the home favorite (6-3, 4-6, 6-3). Perhaps most noteworthy was the way in which Foki maintained his composure mentally after dropping the second set, a set in which both players showcased spectacular points. Alejandro once again savors the taste of victory and will face Andrey Rublev in the second round.

In recent days, a very interesting debate has arisen in the tennis world regarding the calendar and exhibitions. Are they the same thing? Do the complaints of the top players about the calendar have legitimacy when, on the other hand, they use weeks in their schedule to play exhibitions solely for money? The latest to speak out, following a debate that gained momentum thanks to John Millman and Taylor Fritz, was a clear Denis Shapovalov in his arguments.
"In my opinion, if players were to earn a decent amount of money throughout the season, they wouldn't feel the need to play exhibitions during rest weeks. Instead, tennis players (except perhaps the top 20) only earn a decent amount of money four times a year (the Slams). Therefore, players obviously go to exhibitions to earn good money. In addition to the prize money, there are taxes, percentages, salaries, and costs that we tennis players have to pay. Tennis isn't like other sports where you keep all the money you earn. There are many costs if you're a tennis player. I'm not saying we don't make money, I'm just saying we make a lot more money playing exhibitions."
In my opinion if players would make decent money during the season they wouldn’t feel the need to play exhos in off weeks. Instead, players (aside from maybe top 20) only make decent money 4 times a year (slams). So it’s a no brainer for players to go play echos for good cash

Andrey Rublev has a clear goal in mind: to secure his fifth consecutive participation in the ATP Finals. Being in Turin is a top priority for the Russian, who is tackling the Asian tour with the aim of accumulating points and victories to end the year on a high note. He took the first step in his debut at the ATP Beijing 2024, where he nearly achieved perfection in an immaculate first set against Pablo Carreño; however, Carreño managed to turn the situation around, but in the third set, Andrey's current authority and greater confidence made the difference (6-0, 4-6, 6-4). Rublev's forehand proved to be a weapon too devastating for a determined Carreño, who can still depart proud of his progress. In the second round, Andrey will face off against Alejandro Davidovich.

After debuting with a victory against Monfils, the Russian spoke with his usual sincerity about various topics, from the slowness of the balls in Beijing to a possible future as a coach.
With the calendar change for 2025, the Estoril tournament is left without a place in the clay court season. Therefore, the ATP will downgrade it to a Challenger 175 for 2025, taking place the second week of the Madrid tournament, which is advantageous for players who are eliminated early in the Spanish event. However, for 2026 and 2027, it will return to its normal ATP 250 category, albeit shifting to the week following Miami, causing a scheduling chaos with up to four 250-level tournaments coinciding in the same week: Bucarest, Marrakech, Houston, and Estoril. We will see what happens by then.
Big news from the @EstorilOpen:

After a period without physical issues and when Matteo Berrettini seemed to be turning the corner and finding consistency physically, a new setback has prevented him from finishing his match in the Tokyo tournament. In his second-round encounter against Fils, the Italian was forced to retire due to an abdominal issue after winning the first set in the tiebreak. After enduring the pain, following the physio's check-up, the Italian decided to withdraw to avoid risking a more serious injury. A new setback that comes at a difficult time, as depending on the severity of the injury, he may not play again for the rest of the season.

An interesting situation unfolded in the first match of Carlos Alcaraz at this ATP 500 Beijing 2024, where the Spaniard received two warnings from the chair umpire for taking too long between serves. Alcaraz vehemently protested, stating that there was no time for anything and that tennis cannot be played this way, while emphasizing his constant desire to serve as quickly as possible.
