My Prediction
Davidovich Fokina in 3 sets.Let me set the stage for everyone's favorite soap opera, 'As the Tennis Ball Turns.' On one side of the court, we've got James Duckworth, as unseeded as sunflower seeds on a salad bar. Duckworth just gave us some delightful sets against the likes of Vukić, Monday, and Searle, only dropping a set in each encounter, but it's worth noting that losses are also on his recent transcript against wealthily-named O'Connell and Engel.
On the adjacent side, there's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, swagging a 6th seed so delicately you'd think it's a Fabergé egg. Alejandro's recent encounters vary from popping tennis balloons like Tseng, Llamas Ruiz, and Monfils with ease, to losses against linguistically charming Lehečka J. and Cobolli F.
If you're asking me—and since you're here, one must assume you are—I'd put my money on a pan-flamed crispy set of serves and volleys from Alejandro, the forecast subtly champions his name. Yet, Duckworth isn't to be treated like love, folks, as he's been found parsing points from ungodly angles.
But in the grand scheme of bouncing balls on a fuzzy terrain, I suspect Davidovich Fokina might fend off the Duckworth onslaught and Whoosh! a triumphant set of victories under his belt. But expect Duckworth to leave a few dents in Alejandro's shiny 6th seed armor.
Albert’s Prediction: Davidovich Fokina in 3 sets.
