Alejandro Davidovich Fokina showed nerves of steel and smooth shot-making as he defeated Alexei Popyrin in straight sets:
6-3, 6-2
From the very start, the Spaniard dictated the rhythm of the match. His sharp footwork and heavy topspin kept Popyrin guessing, while his consistent baseline game sealed the win in just over an hour. If he keeps this form up, he could be the dark horse of the tournament.
