Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich have starred in one of the best matches so far in Wimbledon 2026. In the end, it was the Canadian tennis player who secured his spot in the quarterfinals to face Novak Djokovic, and at the end of the match, both had a spat over a controversial action in the fourth set.
As Auger-Aliassime was serving to close out the match, with Alejandro leading 15-40, the Spanish player twisted his ankle and halted the game. He eventually continued, broke Auger-Aliassime's serve to even the fourth set, and won it in the tie break, pushing the match to the deciding set. Felix completely lost his focus after that break and began to make more mistakes than ever before, something that haunted him until the end of the fifth set.

Aliassime snubs Davidovich's handshake
Even though the result of the fifth set was 6-1 in favor of Auger-Aliassime, the handshake between them at the net was very chilly, leading Davidovich to offer explanations after they greeted the chair umpire, as the Canadian could not understand how he could keep playing after appearing completely injured. In fact, things escalated further when Auger-Aliassime celebrated it with the crowd.
As Davidovich, now calmer, tried to explain himself again, Felix was too heated to accept any apologies. In fact, the Spanish player attempted to shake hands to reconcile, but the Canadian declined. A bittersweet ending to an epic match with constant plot twists and both players performing at a very high level. It is best to remember just that, the match, and not all that ensued afterwards, which tarnishes what was seen on the court.
