They have never met before.
Also Read:
Davidovich Fokina Has a 7-3 Record in Estoril
Third seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will begin his Estoril campaign in the second round on Wednesday. The world no. 24 is playing in the tournament for the fourth time and has reached at least the quarterfinals in all of his previous three appearances.
The 23-year-old was a semifinalist in 2019 and 2021 and a quarterfinalist last year.
An excellent clay court player, this is Davidovich Fokina’s first clay court match of the season. He was 11-8 on the surface last year and that included a run to the final in Monte Carlo — his maiden ATP final.
This year, the Spaniard has an overall season record of 11-8. Ranked no. 24th in the world, Davidovich Fokina had made it to the quarterfinals in Adelaide-2, Doha and Indian Wells. He is yet to go beyond the last eight stage. Can he do that in Estoril? He has a very good 7-3 record in the tournament and so it won’t be a surprise if he does make a deep run in the tournament.

Van Assche Rallies Past Sousa
Luca Van Assche is looking unstoppable at the moment as the 18-year-old picked up his 11th consecutive win to beat Pedro Sousa in the first round of the Estoril Open.
The Frenchman had won back-to-back Challenger titles in the run-up to the ATP 250 event in Portugal.
Carrying that form into the tour-level event, Van Assche came back from a set down to beat Sousa 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-1 in two hours and six minutes.
Van Assche won 75% poinst on the back of his first delivery. He converted 6 of 8 break points in the match and saved 5 of 7 to knock out the Portuguese player.
Thanks to the win Van Assche improved his overall season record to 14-7 across level. He is 6-0 on clay this year. He won his two Challenger titles in Pau (indoor) and San Remo (clay) respectively.
Can the world no. 91 keep the form going in the second round in Estoril and pull off an upset win?
Davidovich Fokina v Van Assche Prediction and Tip
Davidovich Fokina is the more accomplished player. He has been a consistent performer at the highest level this year and that experience makes him the favourite against the 18-year-old. Van Assche could take a set off Daviddovich Fokina, who is playing on clay for the first time this year, but eventually the Spaniard should emerge victorious.
