Jakub Mensik vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina: ATP Dubai – Round of 16

Jakub Mensik and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will face each other in the round of 16 of the ATP Dubai.

Jakub Mensik Profile

Jakub Mensik has the best ranking of his career, being 87th in the world. He is 16-4 for the season and 15-4 on hard surfaces.

The 18-year-old is coming off a 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 win over Borna Coric in the first round in Dubai. Last week, he made it to his first ever ATP final, losing to Karen Khachanov in Doha.

Earlier this season, Mensik made it to the second round of the Australian Open after going through the qualifiers. He also reached the final at the Canberra Challenger and the semifinal at the Manama Challenger.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Profile

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is 24th in the ATP rankings, three spots lower than his career high. The Spaniard is 6-4 for the season and 4-2 on hard surfaces.

Davidovich Fokina is coming off a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win over Fabian Maroszan in the first round in Dubai.

He lost in the opening rounds of the previous two tournaments in Doha and Rotterdam. Prior to that, he reached the quarterfinals in Marseille and the second round at the Australian Open.

This is the fourth appearance for Davidovich Fokina in Dubai, and he repeats his best result, reaching the round of 16 from last year, where he lost to Andrey Rublev.

Head-to-Head

Jakub Mensik won the only previous match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina that happened last week in the opening round in Doha.

Prediction and Conclusion

Jakub Mensik is the biggest sensation so far in the season. The 18-year-old found his place in the top 100 in the ATP rankings for the first time in his young career and almost won the tournament in Doha. On the other hand, Davidovich Fokina is not playing the best tennis of his career, but there is no doubt that the Spaniard has everything he needs to be competitive against anybody. He needs to step his game up, and he will do exactly that and pay Mensik back for the loss last week in Doha.
