Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Mattia Bellucci Prediction

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina returns to action for the first time since reaching the final at the Delray Beach Open ten days ago and the Spaniard will be pretty happy with some of his performances in recent weeks.

He reached the fourth round in the Australian Open and beat the likes of Jakub Mensik and Felix Auger-Aliassime so that shows the calibre of opponent he has beating of late.

He takes on Mattia Bellucci who has been playing well but was eliminated in qualifying in Dubai before receiving a lucky loser spot. The manner of his loss to Gabriel Diallo was somewhat alarming as the Canadian beat him 6-1 6-0 so it will be interesting to see how he shapes up for this one.

The pair have never met before on the ATP Tour but it is the Spaniard who has all the momentum coming into this one that he should be able to build on.
