Taylor Fritz vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina preview

First seed Taylor Fritz will continue his campaign at the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2025 with his quarterfinals clash against 12th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

Fritz has enjoyed a strong season so far, capturing two titles during the grass court swing. While those wins came on a different surface, his hard-court performances have also been impressive. Having participated in six hard-court events, the American No.1 has recorded a solid 72.7% win rate.

After second-round exits in Dallas and Delray Beach, Fritz bounced back with an excellent run during the Sunshine Double. He surpassed his points tally from last year by advancing to the third round at Indian Wells and reaching the semifinals in Miami, where he was defeated by eventual champions Jack Draper and Jakub Mensik, respectively.

Now in the North American swing, Fritz has gotten off to a flying start. He’s yet to drop serve, having cruised past Aleksandar Vukic 6-3, 6-2 and Matteo Arnaldi 6-3, 6-4 in commanding fashion.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina began his season on a high note. At the Australian Open, he pulled off remarkable comebacks in back-to-back matches where he was down two sets to love. He defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jakub Mensik, posting his best result at the Happy Slam by powering his way into the fourth round.

About a month later, Davidovich Fokina was in the midst of his best stretch of the season. He made back-to-back finals appearances in Delray Beach and Acapulco, knocking out big-name players like Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Denis Shapovalov along the way.

Davidovich Fokina looked underprepared in his first hard-court tournament following the conclusion of the grass swing. He suffered a shocking 3-6, 4-6 opening-round loss against James Duckworth.

Still, this setback didn’t dent his confidence. He bounced back strong at the ongoing ATP 500 event, cruising through the first two rounds with straight-set wins over Jaume Munar and Learner Tien.
