Andy Murray vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina: Preview
Andy Murray returns to action following his debut at the 2022 Laver Cup. Murray is putting in performances but the physical aspect is keeping him behind as he continues to look for his first title since 2019 despite having reached two finals this season.
Murray‘s best performances have come on hardcourts and given that Fokina is a player better suited to Clay, the 3-time major winner will look to make the most of it as he continues to cement his place in the Top 50.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina looks to try his luck on hardcourts once again as the Spaniard continues his poor form on the surface. Fokina has three first-round exits in his last 4 hardcourt events with the only exception being the 2022 US Open where he surprised everyone with a 4th round run.
Having started the season outside the Top 50, Fokina is making a good rise towards the top. He was momentarily inside the Top-30 owing to his performances on clay. However, with grass and hardcourts being an issue for him, he is now just on the brink of re-entering the Top 30.
The two are yet to clash on the Tour hence the head-to-head remains at 0-0.
Andy Murray vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina: Prediction
Murray is 714-230 in Tour matches across his career while Fokina is 64-66. With Murray having a better experience than the Spaniard and with the match on hardcourts, the chances of Murray advancing further look better and he will be the favourite for the second round.
Prediction: Andy Murray to win in three sets.
