Preliminary review and match prediction for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Jozef Kovalik
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina:
Davidovich Fokina started the tournament with a victory over Botic van de Zandschulp (6-4, 6-4).
As expected, it was a tense match, but Alejandro was able to win in two sets.
However, it was hard to call it a convincing win. Both players were terrible at holding their serve, but Botic, who let Alejandro use six break points, was especially bad.
Davidovich Fokina lost four games on serve. By the way, he only won 57% of his points on the first ball. So, Alejandro was lucky that his opponent did not play his best match.
Last week, Davidovich Fokina lost to Sebastian Baez (2-6, 3-6) in the second round of the tournament in Bastad.
Davidovich Fokina has nine wins in his last ten matches on the clay as a favourite.

Jozef Kovalik:
Kovalik made it to the main draw through qualification. In qualifying, he managed to beat Henri Laaksonen (6-4, 6-1) and Alexander Shevchenko (7-6, 4-6, 6-4).
In the first round, Jozef had a strong win over Max Rehberg (3-6, 7-5, 6-1). However, it’s certainly alarming here that Jozef gave up a set to the 830th-ranked player in the world.
In early July, Kovalik made two Challengers appearances in Germany. In Sauerland, he reached the semi-finals, while in Braunschweig he dropped out after the first round.
Kovalik played mostly Challenger matches this season in an attempt to move up the rankings. His win against Rehberg was his first at the ATP main draw level this year.
Kovalik has lost 9 of his last 10 matches to top-50 opponents.
