An erratic Davidovich loses to De Minaur in the Toronto semifinals

Alejandro Davidovich appeared on the center court of the Toronto tournament with the illusion of getting the ticket to his second final of a Masters 1,000, but the Spaniard left the match very early, long before Álex de Miñaur won the duel with solvency in two sets (6-1 and 6-3).

The wind was the special guest of the match, an environmental factor that unhinged the man from Malaga and gave wings to the Australian, who with contained tennis, without risking, watched his rival fray. Davidovich made 20 unforced errors in the first set, while De Minaur only hit three winners, the last an ace to close the set that the Spaniard didn't even fight.

Davidovich went to the bathroom to put his ideas in order, but he continued to be confused and agitated. His game continued to be very fast, like Alcaraz's in the loss against Paul. He gave up the first break early in the next set and nearly buried his chances by letting two break chances slip in the second game, the first with an ace from Oceanic and the other with the umpteenth unforced error.

A second break against after missing a very easy volley and after two double faults they ended up sinking Davidovich, who in the breaks did not believe his performance, covering his face with the towel. With everything lost for the man from Rincón de la Victoria, the game turned into a chain of breaks that ended, how could it be otherwise, with a notable mistake by Davidovich in a smash. De Minaur, with minimal effort, reached his first Masters 1,000 final.
