🔍 Match Breakdown

Davidovich Fokina brings the variety, net instincts, and explosive movement that can flourish on grass when controlled. His Eastbourne showing confirmed he’s adjusted well to the surface and can win short or extended rallies.

Holt will rely on steady serving and a high-percentage baseline game to extend points and frustrate the Spaniard. The slower Wimbledon grass may help him blunt ADF's pace, but he’ll need to be opportunistic on break chances and keep first-serve numbers high.

If Davidovich avoids mental lapses and leans into front-foot tennis, he should have enough to navigate Holt’s resistance. But don’t expect it to be straightforward—especially if Holt sneaks a set and gets the crowd involved.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Davidovich Fokina in 4 sets – The Spaniard has more weapons, more experience, and is in better form. Holt will likely make it competitive, but ADF’s variety and athleticism should prevail.
