Malaga's Alejandro Davidovich reaches new tennis career high

Alejandro Davidovich rose to 26th place in the ATP rankings when they were updated this Monday, 13 March - a career best for the Fuengirola-based local tennis star.

This came after the 23-year-old reached the last 16 of the Indian Wells Masters with a 6-3 1-6 6-4 victory over Russian player Karen Khachanov in the early hours of Monday morning.

Until now, his best ranking was the 27th place he achieved last spring after finishing runner-up in Monte Carlo.

With this latest update, Davidovich becomes Spain's fourth-best men's tennis player.

He has overtaken Roberto Bautista (now 28th) and sits behind only Carlos Alcaraz (second), Rafael Nadal (12th) and Pablo Carreño (17th).
