In the 1/8 finals at the tournament in Antwerp, Spain's representative Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina will play with Christian Garin from Chile.
Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina
The 22-year-old Spaniard confidently beat Jordan Thompson from Australia in the 1/16 finals. The match ended in two sets. Alejandro won both games with the same score 6:3.
Christian Garin
The 25-year-old representative of Chile missed the 1/16 finals due to a higher ATP ranking. At the same time, at the tournament in Indian Wells, Garin proved that he plays much worse on Hard when compared with the ground. In the 1/32 finals, Garin beat the American Ernesto Escobedo - 7:5; 6:2. But in the 1/16 finals, Christian was quite expected to be unable to cope with Alex De Minaur, who had already flown out of the tournament in Antwerp. In Indian Wells, Garin lost to the representative of Australia in two sets – 4:6; 2:6.
Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina and Christian Garin played together in 2020. At the end of February, Garin was stronger in three sets at a clay tournament in his native Chile – 6:2; 0:6; 7:6 (7:4).
Forecast
Considering that Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina has already played at the tournament in Antwerp and outplayed a generally good opponent, and also remembering that Garin plays extremely hard on Hard, it is still worth betting on the representative of Spain.
