Filip Misolic vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Filip Misolic is ranked 82 in the world ahead of the Australian Open. He has the one win from his three matches in 2026. The Austrian was defeated by Rinky Hijikata in the first stage of Brisbane qualifying. He moved on to Adelaide, winning his first qualifying match against Daniel Jovanovksi but then losing to Alexander Shevchenko. He won two Challenger titles and reached the third-round of the French Open last year, excelling on his favoured clay.

He faces Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in round one. The Spaniard’s wait for a title goes on after a tight three set loss to Ugo Humbert in the semi-finals of Adelaide, but there were still positives for Davidovich Fokina to take ahead of the first major of the year.

Davidovich Fokina has matches under his belt now and his game seemed to be in good order last week. He should have too much for Misolic over three sets.
