ATP Washington
Davidovich Fokina A. vs Tien L.
🧠 Form & Context
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
- 🔄 Rebound specialist: After a shock loss on hard in Los Cabos, bounced back by dismantling Jaume Munar 6–4, 6–2 in R2 Washington.
- 🎯 Top-20 on the radar: Runner-up in Acapulco and Delray Beach this year; a deep US Open series run could vault him inside the top-20 for the first time.
- 🤯 Mental swings: Capable of brilliance (two finals in 2025) but can let big leads slip—must stay focused past the first setback.
Learner Tien
- 🚀 Breakout rookie: In first full tour season, already up to 20 wins, including scalps of Rublev, Medvedev, Zverev, and Shelton.
- 🎾 Efficient lefty: Heavy kick serve and flat forehand allow him to close points quickly; 13–6 on hard this year shows consistency.
- 🌱 Rising confidence: First Washington appearance—has momentum from a straight-sets win over Rublev and unlikely to be overawed.
