Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

At the Delray Beach Open, Taro Daniel from Japan will be facing Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain. This will be their first meeting at the tour-level. However, they have played against each other before in the 2019 Genoa Challenger in Italy, where Davidovich Fokina emerged victorious with a 6-4 6-4 win on clay.

Taro Daniel, aged 32, is currently ranked 119th in the world. He reached his career-high ranking of 58th in January 2024 after making it to the final of the Auckland ATP Tour. In 2018, he achieved his first title at the Istanbul ATP Tour, where he also reached his first semifinal. Daniel became only the second Japanese male player to win a clay court title in the Open Era, following in the footsteps of Kei Nishikori. Impressively, he qualified for nine tour-level events in 2022, including prestigious tournaments like the Australian Open, Indian Wells Masters, and Miami Masters. In the same year, Daniel defeated the fourth-ranked player, Casper Ruud, in the second round of Acapulco, marking the most significant victory of his career. He has also defeated top players such as Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in past tournaments. In 2016, Daniel had a successful six-week period, winning 17 out of 21 matches on both the tour level and Challenger circuit. During this time, he even defeated Jack Sock, a two-time Olympic medalist, at the Rio Olympics. It is worth noting that Daniel entered the Delray Beach Open draw as a lucky loser due to the withdrawal of James Duckworth, and he aims to secure his first tour-level win since defeating Egor Gerasimov in the first round of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai in October.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, aged 25, is currently ranked 60th in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of 21st in August 2023 and maintained a top 30 year-end ranking for the eighth consecutive year in 2023, finishing at 26th. In 2022, he had a breakthrough performance at the Monte Carlo ATP Masters 1000, defeating the then-World No. 1, Novak Djokovic, a record-breaking nine times in a best-of-three-set match. This victory propelled him to reach his first ATP Tour final. He also reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Roland Garros in 2021 and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at Monte Carlo in the same year, where he overcame Casper Ruud in a thrilling five-set match. Before turning professional, Davidovich Fokina had a successful career as a junior player, ending 2017 as the World No. 2 after winning the boys’ singles title at Wimbledon and posting an impressive 20-1 record. Outside of tennis, Davidovich Fokina has a passion for animals and owns two cats. In 2021, he launched Adoptas.org, a pet adoption platform in Spain that aims to connect individuals interested in adopting or fostering pets with shelters and rescues.

In the Delray Beach Open, Davidovich Fokina aims to become the first Spanish player since Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in 2019 to record a main draw win at the event. Most recently, Davidovich Fokina showcased his resilience at the Australian Open, where he rallied from a two-set deficit to defeat both Felix Auger-Aliassime, ranked 23rd, and Jiří Veselý, ranked 48th, to reach the fourth round for the first time in a Grand Slam tournament.
