The Spaniard, who fell in his debut in Indian Wells, wasted seven break balls against the Norwegian rock in Florida
MADRID, 25 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Alejandro Davidovich lost this Sunday against the Norwegian Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-4 in the third round of the Miami tournament (United States), the second Masters 1,000 of the season, an opponent whom he had beaten in both recent precedents but which demonstrated its great and solid start to the season.
‘Foki’ said goodbye in his second match and lost the opportunity to grow in Florida, after falling in his debut at the recent Indian Wells. The North American tour did not go well for the man from Malaga, despite the fact that in Miami he had a chance to reach the round of 16, the seven break points that he wasted.
At least the Spaniard was aggressive for the rest and found the ball first to break the Norwegian’s serve, but it was Ruud who took advantage of what he had to leave Davidovich behind in the fourth game. To close the sleeve, the seventh seed confirmed his takeover of the match with authority.
In the second act, the Spaniard returned to the fray and had the option of breaking each of the Norwegian’s serves, but the one who broke in the seventh game was Ruud with the intention of continuing his adventure in Miami, where he played in the final last year, after to reach the quarterfinals in Indian Wells.
In their fourth match between the two, after two victories for ‘Foki’ in Canada last year and at Roland Garros in 2021, and a defeat in the Next Gen in 2019, Davidovich tried to maintain the line of great games between the two. However, Ruud finished off the victory by saving four more break points and on his fourth match point, his eighteenth victory so far in 2024.
