Alejandro Davidovich returned to the circuit with a comfortable victory over Pablo Carreño (6-3, 6-3) at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The player from Malaga, who has been out for three weeks due to an abdominal injury, has started on a clay court tour where his expectations, for now, do not go beyond recovering his best form.

This was affirmed in the press conference after his debut at the Caja Mágica, where he talked about the need to gain rhythm, the appearance of Fernando Verdasco in his box, and the pending conversation he has with David Ferrer. Since his absence from the call-up for the Davis Cup Finals, the captain and player have not spoken, but the Malaga player assures that they will do so soon. He also ruled out training at the Santiago Bernabéu and praised the figure of Rafa Jódar.

Davidovich's goal in Madrid is to regain sensations

"It depends on how many matches I play. The more matches, the more rhythm I will have heading to Rome. If I lose in the next round, I will have to recover it there. The truth is that I am feeling good on the court, I am motivated, physically very well, and also mentally. It's a matter of time to regain that level."

He doesn't care if his opponent is Munar or Ruud

"It doesn't matter to me. In the end, as I said, I come to play, I come without expectations. Considering my level, obviously, I would also like to face Casper, who is the highest-ranked, to see where I am right now on clay. I also don't think that because he is the current champion, he should be more respected, so I go without that pressure."

About Verdasco's presence in his box

"Fer is my friend. He didn't come as a coach but as a friend to support me. We have spent this week together with his family, so for me, he is a friend."

He will meet with Ferrer at the end of the tournament

"I still haven't had the opportunity to speak with him. I sent him a message before the tournament to talk, but I try to spend as little time as possible at the tournament because it wears you out mentally. When it's over, we will sit down and talk without a problem."

He won't set foot on the training courts of Santiago Bernabéu

"I know it's there, but I don't intend to go. Here, we have everything we need, and I don't want to feel like I'm out of the tournament. I like to stay within the environment, even when I'm not playing."

He continues to believe that his first ATP title will come

"Tennis doesn't owe me anything, but it is an objective, as it is for any player. If I keep working, I will have opportunities. When I have that chance again, I will try to learn from past mistakes and lift that title, but right now, I still see it as distant."

Happy about Jódar's dazzling appearance

"I saw it on TV. He is in a great moment, playing at an incredible level. I have been seeing it since Marrakech. He has a lot of talent and seems to work very well off the court. I am very happy for him because I really like him and his father. He deserves the best, although he is still starting on the circuit and has a lot to learn week by week," concludes a Alejandro Davidovich who needs minutes on the court to recover his best level.
