As the minutes passed, the match was filled with a sense of déjà vu compared to two years ago, when the Canadian and the Spaniard met in a duel that ended in four tiebreaks in favor of Felix. Changing the final result of the occasion, Alejandro Davidovich redeemed himself with a 6-7(7), 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1 and 6-3 victory in a match that ended after 1 in Melbourne after 4 hours and 45 minutes. The Malaga native faces Jakub Mensik in the third round Australian Open 2025.

The exchanges that they have become accustomed to in their matches continued with the tone of equality, tight points and games determined by small details. Proof of this is the two tiebreaks in the opening sets that fell in favor of Auger-Aliassime, who, despite being on the edge, maintained the distance with risk. On the other side of the net, Davidovich seemed somewhat sad as he was unable to find good sensations, something that changed drastically in the third set.

Davidovich seizes an opportunity

Alejandro stepped forward on the court to take control of the match, putting his opponent against the ropes and improving the accuracy of his shots. Unlike the Spaniard, Felix crumbled, especially after losing the third set. Dejected during the change of sides and showing his frustration with shouts from the back of the court, Auger-Aliassime seemed somewhat lost in the match, with some errors not helping him to reconnect with the game.

The tension was palpable in the air as Felix tried to give everything he had left in the tank in search of the break that would catapult him to victory, while Alejandro tried to counter with his serve against his opponent’s constant attacks. The Malaga native surprised Auger-Aliassime, who was running out of opportunities, by grabbing himself at the right moment and securing the decisive break to complete a spectacular comeback.
