In their head-to-head encounters, Alejandro has the advantage. Davidovich Fokina won 2 out of 3 matches. In another, Taylor won, but with difficulty. All the duels were played on clay, but Alejandro can put up a good fight even in the hall. It all depends on his mood.
All the face-offs between the tennis players have been tightly contested. In those matches, at least 23 games were played. It’s unlikely that either side will get an easy win today.
Fritz came to Paris to defend last year’s quarter-final. In 2021, he performed well in that competition. At that time, he managed to get past several opponents. However, in the quarter-finals, Taylor could not get anything against Novak Djokovic.
It will be incredibly difficult to count on success this season. Taylor is not yet impressive on the indoor hard courts. In Vienna, for example, he shucked his racket in the 1/8 final after losing to Denis Shapovalov (1-6, 6-4, 3-6).
Fritz has seven wins in his last eight matches.
After the US Open, Davidovich Fokina was completely floating. In the Majors, the Spaniard had a good result. He reached the 1/8 finals. That seemed to be enough for him. In the next matches, Alejandro did not look his best. He didn’t play that many matches.
Davidovich Fokina came to the tournament in Paris with a streak of four defeats in a row. In his last matches on the indoor hard courts, he lost to Andy Murray (5-7, 2-6) and Miomir Kečmanović (7-6, 2-6, 1-6).
Davidovich Fokina has lost ten of his last 11 matches as an underdog.
