Contents
As Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Holger battle for a fourth round spot, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Holger Rune to Win
We would like to start by pointing out that Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has been inconsistent these past few weeks. The Spaniard has five wins and five losses in his last 10 matches across all competitions. On the other hand, Holger Rune won the Munich Open title last weekend, and has reached the final of the last two tournaments he participated in. As a matter of fact, the Danish player is coming into this match on the back of five consecutive wins; he also has nine wins in his last 10 singles matches. Taking everything into account, Holger Rune should win this match.
Two Total Sets
We’ve established that Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has lost as many matches as he has won in recent weeks. It’s also fair to point out that his matches usually don’t go all the way to three sets. In fact, all of Davidovich Fokina’s last 11 singles matches ended in two sets. Keeping that in mind, we are fairly confident that this match will end in just two sets.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Holger Rune
On the other hand, Holger Rune has enjoyed some fine form these past few weeks. He is currently on a five-match winning run, with nine wins in his last 10 games. Interestingly, Rune is on a quest to reach his third consecutive final; he’ll fancy his chances against Davidovich Fokina today.
