Daniil Medvedev v Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Head to Head

There have been two previous meetings between these and Medvedev has won them both. The more recent one came at the Rotterdam earlier this year and Medvedev was stretched to three sets.

Medvedev Struggles But Finds a Way Past Zverev

In what turned out to be a gripping encounter that had a bit of everything including an injury and some drama, Medvedev managed to find a way to come back from a set down to overcome Alexander Zverev in his fourth round encounter.

Medvedev registered his 17th successive win but not before exhibiting his frustration at the slow courts in Indian Wells and suffering a bad fall that ended up in an ankle injury that saw him cry out on court.

Despite all that, Medvedev clinched a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5 win in a match that lasted over three hours and saw face 17 break-points. He was broken twice and he retaliated with three breaks of his own including one when Zverev double-faulted on break-point at 5-5 in the final set.

Medvedev then served out to love to claim his first ever quarterfinal spot in the Indian Wells Open. What needs to be seen is if he would be fit enough to take to court as he reckoned things could get very tough once the adrenaline dies down.

Fokina Eases Past Garin

Cristian Garin had had a solid run in the competition thus far but Fokina found a way to end it in the fourth round. The Spaniard was on court for an hour and 25 minutes in his 6-3, 6-4 win over Garin.

Fokina, who had earlier shocked Karen Khachanov in the second round, raced off to a 5-1 lead in the first set with a couple of breaks of serves. And while he was broken as he looked to serve for the first set, Fokina did not waste that opportunity the second time that happened.

In the second, it was Garin who drew first blood in the sixth game, grabbing a 4-2 lead and giving himself a chance to push it into the decider. Unfortunately for him, Garin failed to convert that into anything substantial, with Fokina breaking back twice in a row to clinch the encounter.

Before this season, Fokina had never even made it to the third round at Indian Wells Masters and never beyond the third round of any hardcourt Masters 1000 tournament in his career. Now, he has a chance to enter the semifinal, especially with Medvedev’s fitness looking a tad dodgy.

Medvedev v Fokina Prediction and Tip

This would be a difficult call to make given we do not know the extent of Medvedev’s injury. In fact, even if he does take to court, it would be a hard call to take so we would probably avoid making any predictions here and just let it play out.
