Alejandro Davidovich qualified for the quarterfinals of the Estoril tournament

Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich (28th in the world) qualified on Wednesday for the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 tournament on clay in Estoril, in the suburbs of Lisbon, beating his compatriot Bernabé Zapata (123rd), 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) in 1:56. Davidovich, 22, will face in the next round the Portuguese Nuno Borges, who received an invitation, or the American Frances Tiafoe (29th in the world). The finalist of the last Master 1000 of Monte-Carlo won the first set in just 40 minutes, relying in particular on a solid serve. The second round, on the other hand, was much more contested. Broken from the start by Zapata, Davidovich also converted a break point to come back to 2-2 and start a crossover with his opponent until the tie break, despite several double faults. Led 5 points to 3 in the decisive game, he managed to chain four points in a row to win the victory.
