THE PREDICTION
World number 23 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina may never develop the maturity required to make full use of his clear talents but the 24-year-old is well capable of going on a deep run, seemingly on a whim, at prestigious events. The Spaniard stunned Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud en-route to the semi-finals of the Canada Masters last summer but his best feat came in a huge run to the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros in 2021, whilst he has failed to make it past the second round here on three occasions. World number 84 Constant Lestienne is another almost totally inexplicable tennis player, capable of incredible unorthodox shot-making at his best but more often letting his mentality get in the way. The 31-year-old took Cam Norrie to four sets in the second round here last season before something of a capitulation but he enjoyed plenty of success on the Challenger circuit late last year to prove he is of full-tour quality at his best. Consider taking this likely madcap match to see five sets but otherwise back ADF to win outright – realistically in three.
TIP: ALEJANDRO DAVIDOVICH FOKINA TO WIN
