Joao Fonseca vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Davidovich Fokina is the more experienced player of the two. However, Fonseca is one of the most exciting young talents in the game. The Brazilian has already broken into the top 50 in the world and has a very powerful backhand and serve.

The 19-year-old can definitely put Davidovich Fokina's backhand under a stiff test by playing his crosscourt backhand repeatedly. The Brazilian will fancy his chances of hitting through the Spaniard repeatedly with powerful groundstrokes.

Davidovich Fokina's superior experience should help him in closing out some of the points. The Spaniard is a slightly superior player at the net and might want to use that advantage. Overall, it should be a close match, but Fonseca might just be able to win in the end.

Pick: Fonseca to win in three sets.
