Davidovich-Fokina Knocks Out Dutch Seed
Davidovich-Fokina, back on the surface on which he reached the final of the Monte Carlo Masters back in April, made an encouraging start to his Hamburg campaign, with a straight sets win over the number five seed, Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands.
The match began with the pair swapping breaks, before the world number 25 was broken again. He briefly levelled, only to immediately drop his serve again and the Spaniard served out for the set.
Again the pair swapped breaks early in the second set, before a sequence of three dropped service breaks left Davidovich-Fokina a break to the good. From there, all that was required of him was to consolidate his advantage, which he duly did.

Qualifier Kovalik Survives Battle with Teenage Wildcard
Kovalik came through the qualifying competition in Hamburg, beating Henri Laaksonen of Switzerland and the neutrally flagged Alexander Shevchenko to make the main draw.
Fortune then smiled on him by pairing him with the German 18-year old wildcard, Mx Hans Rehberg, currently ranked 830th in the world.
However, the teenager showed no nerves on his ATP main tour debut, taking the first set courtesy of two breaks of serve. And, when the Slovak went a break down in the second set, he was staring a shock defeat in the face. But he rallied, broke back straight away, and then broke again, giving him the chance to serve out for the second set.
Rehberg’s inexperience showed as he went two breaks down in the third set, but he was not quite finished yet, and recovered one of them. The Slovak, though broke him again and finally put his challenge to bed with another break.
It had been a very tough day at the office, though, for the world number 186.
Davidovich-Fokina v Kovalik Prediction and Tip
Given the contrasting ways that the two men reached the second round, it is difficult to make a case for Kovalik going into this match. He will need to raise his game considerably to trouble the Spaniard.
