Alex de Minaur vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

ATP Washington Final Preview 🇺🇸

Alex de Minaur vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

🧠 Form & Context

  • Alex de Minaur
    🔄 Smooth sail: Didn’t face a single top-10 this week and has dropped only one set en route to the final.
    🥇 Final-factory vs. non-top-20: Boasts an 8–3 record in finals against opponents outside the top 20 (0–7 vs. top 10).
    🚀 Title charge: A win would vault him back into the live top 10 (projected No. 8).
    🏆 Venue magic: Finalist here in 2018, cementing his affinity for Washington conditions.
  • Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
    🔥 Heat-of-battle: Defeated two top-10 foes (Fritz, Shelton) in back-to-back matches—first time he’s beaten more than two in a season.
    📈 Confidence boost: Now 5–4 vs. top-10 in 2025 (career was 7–29 pre-2025).
    🧠 Nerve test: Has yet to convert in three previous finals, including two this year (Delray, Acapulco).
    🔄 H2H advantage: Leads de Minaur 3–2 overall, but last two meetings went to the Australian in straight sets.
