It's a shame what happened to Alejandro Davidovich. The audience at the Conde de Godó 2025 was dreaming of a possible Spanish final, but today the Malaga native was far from the level shown in his recent matches and was defeated in two sets by Russian Karen Khachanov, with a score of 6-4 7-5. Foki had a set point to take the match to a third set, but ended up frustrated, throwing his racket on the ground due to the errors made.

It didn't seem like an ideal day for Davidovich, from the early stages of the match we saw him making more errors than usual, while Khachanov was very consistent, allowing little room for the Spaniard to capitalize. The Muscovite is a very solid player, unable to deviate too much from his game, and if you're not having a particularly inspired day, you can end up paying for it.

Ale paid dearly in the first set for the five wasted break points that could have tilted the set in his favor, but today wasn't his day. The truth is that the Malaga native always had opportunities, not only to get back into the match but also to extend his lead on the scoreboard, yet Khachanov always found ways to impose his solid game and take control of the match.

In the second set, a stroke of inspiration for Foki allowed him to go up 5-2, but his serve deserted him at the most crucial moment, and his mindset started playing tricks on him as he began accumulating nearly inexplicable errors. While the Russian was gaining ground, the Spaniard had a set point that could have taken us to a third set, but it slipped away, and losing that advantage weighed heavily on him mentally, ultimately handing the match over to Khachanov who secured his spot in the semis by winning five games in a row.

Despite the defeat, Foki continues to move forward, giving himself opportunities to reach the final rounds of major tournaments. He still has room to try to turn around those moments where he seems unable to break through and endures multiple consecutive lost games, as happened today. Khachanov, on the other hand, will play in the Barcelona Open semifinals on Saturday against the winner of Ruud-Rune, which will be played next.
