Player Performance Preview

Fokina’s performance in 2024 has been an exponentially growing linear graph, so far. But nothing is perfect and goes hunky dory. There have been a couple of defeats as he lost the second-round match against Nuno Borges in the Australian Open.

In the ATP Rotterdam last week, Fokina lost to Jan-Lennard despite winning the first set. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has been performing consistently and the scope of this performance has now extended to the Middle East ATP event in Dubai as well. He held a lead against Jannik Sinner in the first round in 2022 and Andrey Rublev in the second round last year.

2024 brought a swift start for Jakub Mensik, he secured (11) victories with just three losses. This led to his rise over (40) places in the ATP rankings, this all happened in the last seven weeks. The Australian Open happened to be one such incident that led to a rise in Mensik’s recent success. He won four consecutive matches as a qualifier.

Performances at Hard Courts

Seems like Fokina is struggling to reach the level where a good performance stands. In his last five matches, Fokina has won (2) matches against Ruusuvuori and Barrere, whereas he lost (3) matches against Struff, Humbert, and Borges.

Mensik has been performing well in the hard court. He has won (3) matches against Trungelliti, Fatic, and Basilashvili at the Challenger Men - Singles. Mensik lost (2) matches against Kukushkin in the Challenger Men - Singles and Hurkacz in the Australian Open.

Head-to-Head

It is the first time that both athletes are competing against each other for the first time. Jakub Mensik is a brilliant player who should be able to hold his own throughout the encounter. To retain his perfect record in first-round matches in Doha, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will need to be at his best.
