Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich have played one of the best matches of Wimbledon 2026 so far. In the end, it was the Canadian player who secured his spot in the quarterfinals to face Novak Djokovic, and at the end of the match, they had a clash over a controversial action in the fourth set.
When Auger-Aliassime was serving to close the match, with Alejandro leading 15-40, the Spanish player twisted his ankle and stopped the game. He eventually continued, broke Felix's serve to level the fourth set, and won it in the tiebreak, taking the match to the deciding set. Felix completely lost his focus after that pause and started making more errors than ever, something that stayed in his mind until the end of the fifth set.

Aliassime refuses to shake hands with Davidovich
Although the final set ended 6-1 in favor of Auger-Aliassime, the handshake at the net was very cold, so Davidovich started to give him explanations once they greeted the chair umpire, as the Canadian player did not understand how he could keep playing after appearing to be completely injured. In fact, things escalated further once Auger-Aliassime celebrated it with the crowd.
While sitting in his chair, with his nerves calmed down, Davidovich tried again to explain himself, but Felix was too heated to accept his apologies. In fact, the Spanish player attempted to shake hands to make amends, but the Canadian declined. A bittersweet end to an epic match with constant plot twists and both players performing at a very high level. It is best to focus on that, on the match, and not on everything that followed which tarnishes what was seen on the court.
