Spanish tennis player Alejandro Davidovich secured his place in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 tournament in Atlanta, USA, after defeating American Reilly Opelka with a score of 7-5, 7-5. This victory marks his second win of the week on American hard courts. Davidovich will next face Australian Jordan Thompson. Previously, he opted out of the Olympics to focus on his recovery, and his match showcased strong performance, as he managed to break Opelka’s serve in both sets, despite Opelka just returning from nearly two years sidelined by injuries.
In a contrasting outcome, Pedro MartÃnez came close to reaching his second consecutive semifinal but fell short against Argentine Facundo DÃaz Acosta in Kitzbühel, Austria. The match was closely contested, with MartÃnez losing in three sets: 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-4. The Spanish player, who recently triumphed at the Buenos Aires Open, was aiming for another strong showing after his previous semifinal appearance in Hamburg.
Despite the setback, MartÃnez is looking ahead with optimism as he prepares for the upcoming Olympics in Paris. He recently learned that he will debut against Italian Andrea Vavassori. MartÃnez is stepping in for Pablo Carreño in the singles event, marking his first experience at the Olympics.
