Davidovich Fokina was in Doha last week, where he suffered a first-round upset as the favorite to win the match. Jakub Mensik knocked ADF out of the draw en route to the final. They are in the same section of the draw this week again.
In the week before, Davidovich Fokina was favored to beat Jan-Lennard Struff but fell in a three-set match. The Spaniard did win a couple of matches in Marseille, one at the Australian Open, and a couple at the United Cup. However, he seems to have stalled in recent events.
