Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Form

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina showcased his resilience at the Australian Open, rallying from two sets down to beat Félix Auger-Aliassime and Jakub Mensik. He ran out of steam in a fourth round loss to Tommy Paul.

The Spaniard went all the way in Delray Beach, taking out top seed Taylor Fritz on his way to the final where he lost to Miomir Kecmanovic. He carried that form to another final in Acapulco, but couldn’t break through on the ATP Tour, losing to Tomas Machac.

The 25-year-old suffered early exits in Indian Wells and Miami but rebounded on clay in Monte-Carlo. He recorded victories over Ben Shelton, Jack Draper, and Alexei Popyrin before falling 7-6 6-4 to Carlos Alcaraz in a close semi-final clash.

Davidovich Fokina has maintained the momentum in Barcelona, starting with a commanding 6-1 6-4 victory over veteran Stan Wawrinka. He was too good for Andrey Rublev, getting through 7-5 6-4 after saving 8/11 break points.

Verdict

Karen Khachanov v Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is in career best form and Karen Khachanov has lost seven straight against Top 50 players. It makes sense to stick with the Spaniard in the quarter-finals.
