MADRID, 22 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Alejandro Davidovich surpassed this Wednesday his second match in the ATP tournament in Doha, category 250 and which is played on hard court, at the expense of the South Korean Soonwoo Kwon, while the also Spanish Roberto Bautista suffered a tough comeback against the Australian Christopher O’Connell (3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4).
The man from Malaga reached his first round of the quarterfinals this season with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Kwon in just over an hour. ‘Foki’ saved the six ‘break’ balls that the Asian had and met the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime for the semifinals.
Meanwhile, the man from Castellón has not yet found a rhythm in 2023 and said goodbye in the Qatari capital, defeated in his debut in Montpellier and Rotterdam the previous weeks, with a bitter taste. Bautista began saving several compromised serves and took the cat to the water in the eighth game to take advantage.
Already in the second act, O’Connell found his moment with an early ‘break’, Bautista reacted with four games in a row but the Australian resisted to force the third. The Spaniard, who was coming off a tough debut against Marton Fucsovics, went down whole again with his serve and was trailing in the third set, an even set that the Australian scored with a second ‘break’.
