Taylor Fritz vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Fritz is the defending champion at Eastbourne and has a phenomenal record at this event, as three of his four grass-court titles have come here. He won the event for the first time in 2019, defeating Sam Querry in the final, winning against Maxime Cressy in the 2022 final, and defeating Max Purcell in the final last year.

Ad

Davidovich Fokina has yet to reach a grass-court final in his career. Two of his career finals have come on hard courts, and his most high-profile final was on clay at the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2022, where he lost against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Fritz is the favorite to win in the upcoming match as he is the top seed and has a phenomenal track record on grass, especially at Eastbourne.

Pick- Fritz to win in three sets
