Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Karen Khachanov Prediction: Clay Problem

Prediction for the ATP Monte-Carlo Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Karen Khachanov game which will take place on April 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

For Davidovich Fokina, the Monaco tournament is the second clay tournament of the season. Last week, the Spaniard played two games in Portuguese Estoril, where he won Luca Van Assche but lost to Cecchinato in two sets. Before Estoril, we saw Alejandro at the Masters in the USA. In Indian Wells, he performed very well, achieved three victories, and lost only to Medvedev. In Miami, he won against Nakashima but lost to Paul. In his career, Davidovich Fokina won one Challenger in Seville in 2019. Last year he played 19 matches on the ground, 11 of which he won with one defeat.

Khachanov has not played on the ground this season yet, and last season had worse statistics on the clay surface than the Spaniard: 9 wins with seven defeats. But Khachanov performed well at the Masters in Miami, where the 11th racket of the world won against Etcheverry, Lehechka, Tsitsipas, and Cerundolo, losing only to Medvedev in three games in the fight. The Russian is in good athletic shape. However, only the game will show how easy it will be for him.

Khachanov played only the Masters in Miami at a good level. But how easy will it be for Karen to play on the clay? Well, we haven't seen Khachanov in Europe for a long time. Davidovich Fokina played two games at Estoril and performed unsuccessfully in Portugal but received playing practice after spending two matches in Europe. Remember Khachanov's weak statistics on the clay in recent seasons. Davidovich Fokina could be doing better at clay tournaments, but the numbers of the Pyrenean are better than those of the Russian. There is some underestimation of the Spaniard by oddsmakers, and we will not be surprised that Alejandro will go to the next round of this tournament.
