THE PREDICTION

World number 29 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is enjoying one of the best periods of form in young his career after reaching a first Masters final at the Monte-Carlo Open last month, where he finished runner-up to the defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas. Since then the Spaniard has struggled to find the same intensity that saw him beat Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz and Grigor Dimitrov en-route to that final but this looks a reasonably comfortable opener for him against world number 50 Ilya Ivashka. 28-year-old Ivashka is no pushover on clay but he has struggled so far on this swing with a 2-4 record on the surface. The Belarussian beat Davidovich Fokina in straight sets at last season’s Andalucia Open on clay but 22-year-old ADF looks in great shape to level things today. Back the Spaniard to win outright, although he should be taking this in two.
