ATP Atlanta Day 1 Predictions

Alejandro Davidovitch Fokina vs. Arthur Cazaux

Face to face: first meeting

No. 5 seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina heads to Atlanta looking to get back on track after an up-and-down first seven months of the season. Last August, he was close to the top 20. The 25-year-old Spaniard currently sits at No. 41 in the world and hasn’t won back-to-back matches since February. Fortunately for Davidovich Fokina, his opponent, Arthur Cazaux, has had an even tougher time this season. The 21-year-old Frenchman is 2-10 since the start of March. Davidovich Fokina has too many weapons to lose this match.

Prediction: Davidovitch Fokina in 2
