Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Alex de Minaur prediction
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina defeated Corentin Moutet in straight sets to advance in Hamburg. The Spaniard was not broken on serve but still needed to save 13 break points as he won 6-4 6-4 after one hour and 51 minutes. He is now one match away from a first clay quarter-final of the campaign.
He plays Alex de Minaur next. The Australian came from a set down to beat Francisco Cerundolo. De Minaur was broken twice in the first set as he went behind, but he found his rhythm in the next two sets to win 3-6 6-4 6-3. This ended a three-match losing run for the 27-year-old, who had suffered early exits in Madrid and Rome.
De Minaur leads the ATP head-to-head 3-2, but Davidovich Fokina has won their only previous meeting on clay. This is their first match against each other since the dramatic Washington Open final between the pair last year, which saw De Minaur save three championship points and go on to win.
Davidovich Fokina may take the more proactive approach in rallies, but De Minaur’s counter-punching ability is likely to make this a tightly contested encounter that may require a deciding set.
