Davidovich rebels against Jódar and conquers Shanghai

There is a Viking of unbreakable faith, named Alejandro Davidovich, who manages to contain the wave and ends up being crowned in Shanghai, where a Spaniard had never triumphed. Merit, a lot of merit for the Andalusian, another of those talents who emerged very quickly - he was only 18 years old when he won Wimbledon as a junior - and who has had a hard time processing the curvature of his profession. Tennis and the mind, a mystery. So lonely, so difficult. So complex. This ending of moments is very deceptive in which first a truck ran over him and then, hence those mysteries, it offered a sudden twist in the script and what seemed like it was not. It went here, it ended up there. Volante: 1-6, 7-6(5) and 6-4, in 2h 28m. Rafa Jódar finished cramped and limping, defeated, and the Andalusian, now owner of a Masters 1000, was deservedly crowned.

At 27 years old, Davidovich is heading towards the maturity necessary to achieve successes of this caliber and pass reliability tests like this last one. For a while he was lost, at the mercy of a rival who subdued him for 27 minutes, but then he recovered by believing and resisting. His game is no longer just pyrotechnics. There is substance, there is understanding, there is consistency. This is another Davidovich. Jódar did not finish breaking the dam and the Andalusian rebelled. He withstood the attacks and with great courage, the same that led him to the final after a very creditable climb, he finally achieved the success that had eluded him so much. This is their third trophy this season, but this one is from another dimension. Words greater than a thousand, and significant that it is in Shanghai.

In Mallorca it was unlocked, in Chengdu - also category 250 - it was reaffirmed and now, climax, it takes a qualitative leap in level, demonstrating that if all these faculties are followed by the head, it should naturally ascend to a higher stratum. He always had tennis, but he lacked that linearity that a tyrannical competition like tennis requires, which usually pays dearly for any mistake. The slightest sign of fainting, whether physical or mental, can represent the perfect opportunity for the person opposite to reengage and turn the story around. And so it happened in the final, in which the young Jódar (20 years old) attacked overwhelmingly and then, as the needle of his deposit lowered, he lost vigor and precision.
