Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Alex De Minaur: Canadian Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has shown an impressive resurgence this week, with strong performances. Despite a tough match against Casper Ruud, he has displayed dominance by limiting his opponents—Jeffrey John Wolf, Alexander Zverev, and Mackenzie McDonald—to only four games per set. The Spaniard struggled with consistency in 2022 but addressed it in early 2023. However, losses at Wimbledon and Bastad threatened his season, making his current confidence-boosting streak vital. This performance is his best this season, surpassing his previous record of reaching five quarterfinals between January and April. Unlike the Australian, the 24-year-old reached a semifinal at the Monte Carlo Masters last year, defeating players like Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov, elevating him into the top 30 rankings.

Within less than 24 hours of an incredible comeback from 1-5 down against Taylor Fritz in the round of 16, Alex de Minaur achieved another remarkable turnaround in the quarterfinals. Facing former champion Daniil Medvedev, he overcame even more challenging odds. Despite trailing in both sets and a 1-5 deficit in the first-set tiebreaker, de Minaur secured an impressive straight-set victory, a significant accomplishment given his previous difficulties against Medvedev. This year, the top-ranked Australian has shown progress against tough opponents and in major tournaments, a notable improvement considering past criticism. While his career record against top-10 players is 13-34, he’s won six of ten such matches this year, including wins over Fritz and Medvedev. Additionally, he’s reached three semifinals this year, winning two.
