Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez Prediction
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was involved in yet another three-setter but he came through it against Frances Tiafoe on Wednesday. There was very little between the two players but the Spaniard got the crucial break in the third to take the match 6-3 6-7 6-3.
Davidovich Fokina is playing some really good tennis this year and he has already made it to one final in Delray Beach.
He now meets Mexican youngster Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez who saw his opponent Casper Ruud withdraw from their round of 16 match. The wildcard is enjoying himself in front of the home support and he will be fired up to extend his week.
Davidovich Fokina is likely to have something to say about that however and it is hard to see anything other than the Spaniard winning this one, barring complacency or the stomach bug impacting him too.
