Alejandro Davidovich has not been able to enjoy much of this clay court swing due to injuries and defeats, so Roland Garros will be the last test he faces, arriving as the top Spanish male player in the draw.
This responsibility the Malaga native will embrace in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz due to injury, although it by no means keeps him up at night. He has had enough dealing with an injury that kept him away from the circuit for a few weeks and has prevented him from arriving in Paris with the necessary rhythm to face this type of tournament with the confidence it demands. The Spaniard is eager to step onto the court tomorrow and face Damir Dzumhur, but before that, he sat down with colleagues from Eurosport to discuss his physical condition and expectations for this event.
Last defeat against De Minaur in Hamburg
“Obviously, Alex and I have a very good relationship; we have trained many times in Monaco. I left that match with very good feelings about how I played because in Madrid and Rome, I wasn’t feeling too comfortable on clay as they were the first tournaments. In that match with Alex, I was able to find a pattern on clay, but you leave feeling annoyed because Roland Garros is already here, and the swing is ending. But I’m happy because at least I arrive in Paris with a game plan that I will now try to execute.”
Rivalry with Damir Dzumhur, his first-round opponent
“Five years is a long time; any player completely changes in that span of time. I have completely changed my thoughts and playing style. I don’t rely on those matches but on how he has recently played against certain opponents who may resemble me. In the end, he is a solid player from the baseline, has a good hand, and is crafty. I know it won’t be a three-shot match; there will be quite a few exchanges, so I hope to bring out my best game and take it match by match without thinking about anything else.”
His best memory at Roland Garros
“Surely that would be the quarterfinals of 2021. That meant being among the top eight in a Grand Slam tournament, a very beautiful memory to hold on to. Hopefully, I can match that in these years and have another good memory to cherish. That year, I faced great players, played very good matches, and the one against Ruud is vivid in my mind; I remember we stopped several times due to rain.”
The Grand Slams are different
“Everyone wants to do well here; everyone comes with the expectation of performing as best as possible here. There are only four a year, not many opportunities, so everyone wants to bring out their best tennis here, but there are always surprises. They are very long matches in five sets, with many ups and downs; anything can happen, but we are all prepared to fight.”
Davidovich’s amusing reaction when asked about Carlos Alcaraz’s injury
“It’s a very important loss for Spain; he is a guy I get along with super well, we have known each other for many years, but he made the best decision, prioritizing himself. It wasn’t worth forcing and worsening that injury, so I see it as a good thing that he stops for two months and doesn’t strain his wrist. In the future, he will win more than enough tournaments; I don’t think he is too worried about missing two Grand Slams… he is going to win 15 more! (Laughs) I send him a big hug and wish him a quick recovery.”
