Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Preview and betting tips

The participation of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the final of the very prestigious tournament in Monte Carlo is probably the biggest surprise so far this year on the ATP circuit. On Sunday, he will face Stefanos Tsitsipas, who would very much like to defend his title. But he will certainly not have an easy job ahead of him.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is currently 46th in the ATP rankings. However, he will improve his ranking position by reaching the Monte Carlo final, which is a career high for him so far.

It is already certain that on Monday the 22-year-old Spaniard will be ranked 27th. But given his performances, where he managed to beat Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz and Grigor Dimitrov, he undoubtedly deserves it.

His opponent on Sunday will be Stefanos Tsitsipas. The current fifth player in the ATP rankings cannot move ahead of Rafael Nadal even if he wins, but he could increase his points lead over sixth-placed Matteo Berrettini.

The 23-year-old Greek tennis player plans to defend his triumph from last year. This year, he has a more acceptable opponent in the final, but the Spaniard is certainly not lacking confidence after scalping the world number one.

Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated Fognini, Djere, Schwartzman and Zverev in the local environment. Only the match with the Argentinian player offered three sets, with Tsitsipas already losing the deciding set 0:4.

After that, the Greek showed great mental resilience and showed an incredible turnaround, winning 6: 4. Thanks to that, he should be happy to win another valuable trophy on Sunday. He played two matches with Davidovich Fokina and never once experienced the bitterness of defeat.
