Pablo Llamas Ruiz vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Pablo Llamas Ruiz enters the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career as the 22-year-old won all three of his qualifying matches. In his final match, he beat Vilius Gaubas in three sets, with the Lithuanian player having reached the third-round of the Italian Open less than two weeks prior. The Spaniard’s best result this season is a quarter-final appearance at the Murcia Open.

He takes on compatriot Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in round one. Davidovich Fokina started his clay season really strongly as he reached the semi-finals of Monte-Carlo and lost a close two set battle with Carlos Alcaraz. He followed that up with a quarter-final finish in Barcelona but since then his form has dried up. He lost in the third-round of Madrid and then was on the end of a shocking 6-0 6-2 defeat to Jesper de Jong in the second-round of Rome. In his most recent event, he could only make the second-round in Hamburg.

Despite his recent struggles, Davidovich Fokina should still be recognised as a very dangerous player on clay and he should get off to a winning start here in dominant fashion.
