Tuesday’s Australian Open opening round will see Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, the 30th seed, taking against Alexander Bublik.
The Spaniard will be coming off a quarterfinal run at the Adelaide International 2 where he defeated players like Brandon Nakashima and John Millman in straight sets before losing to Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 6-2 in the last eight. He will be competing in the Australian Open on the strength of that performance.
The Kazakh tennis player will be coming off a four-match losing skid into the Australian Open after being eliminated early from the Paris Masters, United Cup, and ASB Men’s Classic. 53 in the world 6-3, 6-4, David Goffin defeated him in Auckland’s opening round.
