Alex de Minaur vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina preview
Third seed Alex de Minaur will lock horns with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round of the Hamburg Open 2026.
De Minaur drew Francisco Cerundolo in his Hamburg opener. While the Aussie initially overturned a break deficit in the first set, he couldn’t do the same for the second time, thus conceding the set.
De Minaur’s early break advantage in the second set was negated by Cerundolo. However, the former broke the latter’s serve once again in the 10th game to take the set. De Minaur raced to a 4-0 lead in the deciding set, and despite some resistance from Cerundolo towards the end, he toughed it out to wrap up a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 comeback win.
Davidovich Fokina was up against Corentin Moutet in the first round. A single break of serve in his favor in each set helped the Spaniard register a routine 6-4, 6-4 victory.

Alex de Minaur vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction
De Minaur snapped his three-match losing skid with his comeback win over Cerundolo, and improved his record on clay this year to 4-4. Davidovich Fokina saved all 13 break points that he faced against Moutet en route to a routine win. He now has a 3-2 record on clay this year.
De Minaur has a slim head-to-head advantage against Davidovich Fokina. The Aussie saved three championship points in their most recent showdown at last year’s Citi DC Open. Davidovich Fokina won the pair’s only contest on clay in straight sets at the Monte-Carlo Masters 2021.
Davidovich Fokina has a 5-13 career record against top 10 players on clay, with three of those wins coming at the Monte-Carlo Masters. His struggles against the best on the surface makes him the underdog in his upcoming match against de Minaur, even though the latter isn’t in top form himself.
Pick: Alex de Minaur to win in three sets.
