Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Jakub Mensik will hope it’s a case of new year, new story against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
The Czech lost all three matches against the Spaniard in 2025, letting a two-set lead slip in the first of them at the Australian Open.
Foki won the next two in straight sets and has actually triumphed in four in a row now, leading the head-to-head 4-1 overall.
Mensik has started this year in very consistent form and kicked off here with a 7-5 7-6 win over Marcos Giron.
Davidovich Fokina also progressed in two as he downed Zach Svajda 7-6 6-2.
It sets up a clash between two men playing a high standard of tennis and here’s little between these two with the Spanish 18th seed the rankings underdog against the 12th seed.
That said, there’s clearly plenty of danger for Mensik given the troubles he has had in the match-up and there’s a good shout to back the upset or to suggest they will go to the wire.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Jakub Mensik tip: Over 2.5 sets
