THE LOWDOWN
ALEJANDRO DAVIDOVICH FOKINA
World number 29 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina overcame a stern challenge by Ilya Ivashka on Monday, beating the Belarussian in three sets. The 22-year-old is at his bets on the clay, with last season’s run to the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros just-about more impressive than finishing runner-up to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Monte-Carlo Open last month.
FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME
World number nine Felix Auger-Aliassime is improving on clay under the tutelage of supercoach Toni Nadal but a straight-sets defeat to Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals of the Madrid Open was slightly underwhelming last week. The 21-year-old had previously dismissed Jannik Sinner for just three games conceded to prove the level is there but there have been some poor defeats so far this swing. Auger-Aliassime won his first ATP title at the Rotterdam Open back in February.
THE PREDICTION
This could go the distance between two dogged competitors in Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Felix Auger-Aliassime if their previous meeting is anything to go by. The pair shared four tight tiebreaks at the Australian Open back in January that the Canadian eventually edged through on his way to the quarter-finals and a five-set thriller against Daniil Medvedev. The tables could be turned here on clay, though, with ADF enjoying some of the best form if his career this swing and Auger-Aliassime struggling for consistent high performances. Back the Spaniard to win at least a set and leave the winner up to chance. Given their previous match, you could consider adding at least a tiebreak here.
