Luca Van Assche vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 20.5 Games
Van Assche’s last two wins have seen over 22.5 games played. Davidovich Fokina’s victory over Pedro Cashin saw him embroiled in a 28-game affair. Their meeting in Estoril saw 22 games while their meeting in the French Open had 32 games, with one tie-breaker. Although the results have gone in favour of the Spaniard, Van Assche cannot be ruled out. He will force the issue in this game and a victor will not be quickly decided. Given their familiarity with each other, we are expecting a long duel with at least 20.5 games played to find a conclusion.
2-0 to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
It’s worth noting that the French youngster has shown resilience in facing tough opponents but not against Davidovich Fokina. Their previous meetings have been in favour of the Spaniard, who showcased his ability to perform well against Luca Van Assche. Davidovich Fokina has yet to drop a set against his French rival and we believe a similar result will be on the cards as the 24-year-old eyes his fifth quarter-final appearance of 2023.
