A midnight thriller unfolded at the ATP Washington 2025. Malaga’s Alejandro Davidovich showcased his best tennis to defeat the imposing Taylor Fritz in his home country. A match in which the Spanish player did not give up and pushed himself to the limit to eventually secure victory with a 7-6 3-6 7-5 scoreline. The encounter felt more like a clay court battle than hardcourt, as there were a total of 11 service breaks and 32 break points.
The matches played by Alejandro Davidovich against the top ATP players are always filled with drama and high-quality tennis. The Malaga native is currently in good form on the circuit, as evidenced week after week. This season, he has already reached a final at the ATP Delray Beach, narrowly missing the title, and another at the ATP Acapulco with a similar outcome. The courts of ATP Washington suit the versatile and dynamic style of the Spanish player perfectly, as demonstrated once again in his fourth victory against Taylor Fritz, whom he now leads in their head-to-head encounters 4-3. Ben Shelton awaits him in the semifinals.
– A Very Intense First Set
Following the match between Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, where there were only three breaks in the entire game, and considering the conditions in Washington, it seemed unlikely to witness many service breaks between Davidovich and Fritz. However, in the first set alone, there were six breaks. The Malaga player had the opportunity to take the set at 5-4 and 6-5, yet faced a determined opponent playing on his home turf who was eager to prove why he is the ATP number 4. In the tiebreak, luck favored Davidovich as he quickly reached a 6-1 lead to secure the set. However, the intense energy from winning those crucial points affected him in the second set, where he struggled and lost decisively (3-6).
– Dramatic Final
The climax came after Fritz led 5-2 in the third set with serve at 3-5. At that moment, the fighting spirit of the Spanish player shone through, breaking back after facing a 30-0 deficit. Everything seemed in favor of the American player, but a couple of errors and the resilience of his opponent led to a surprising loss of serve when least expected, and after a game at 4-5 where Fritz had another chance to end the match at 15-30, he once again encountered a determined Davidovich, who didn’t mind playing well past 1:30 a.m. He wanted to shine on American soil.
Ultimately, after another 30-0 lead for Fritz, he was unexpectedly broken by Davidovich, who won five consecutive games to turn the score from 2-5 to 7-5. When Davidovich had to serve for the match, he faced a completely defeated Californian. Davidovich emerged victorious and could only express gratitude for the win after a 3-hour and 6-minute battle that ended close to 2 a.m. in Washington: “Fritz always pushes me to the limit, today I got lucky. I was two points away from defeat but managed to turn it around. Now I must relax, I’m going to have dinner with my loved ones to celebrate, but I’m very grateful for being able to play and win these kinds of matches.”
