Mackenzie McDonald vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction
McDonald has barely played on the tour this year. His performances across Challenger tournaments have been decent. However, the competition level on the main tour will be significantly more demanding for the American.
Davidovich Fokina's 2025 season has been a mixed bag so far. While the Spaniard has struggled with consistency, he has been effective in handling pressure situations, which was particularly evident at the Melbourne Major.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is expected to come out on top in this fixture. The Spaniard's aggressive playing style and clinical drop shots will be difficult for Mackenzie McDonald to manage.
Pick: Davidovich Fokina to win in straight sets.
