Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain, ranked No. 15 in the world, will face the French lucky loser Valentin Royer for the first time. Davidovich Fokina, 26 years old, achieved his career-high ranking after breaking into the Top 20 in July 2025 and reaching No. 15 in October of the same year. He had a successful 2025 season with a record of 42-25, including reaching 4 finals. Notably, he defeated Djokovic 9 times in a match at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in 2022 on his way to his first ATP Tour final.

Throughout his career, Davidovich Fokina has had significant accomplishments, such as advancing to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2021 Roland Garros and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the 2021 Monte-Carlo. In 2025, he made it to 4 ATP Tour finals, coming close to victory in tournaments like Delray Beach and Washington but falling short in the final stages. His junior career was also impressive, ending as World No. 2 after winning the Wimbledon boys’ singles title in 2017.

On the other side, Valentin Royer, aged 24 and ranked No. 59 in the world, has been steadily climbing the rankings since breaking into the Top 200 in May 2024. He achieved his career-high ranking after reaching the final in Hangzhou, scoring a significant win against No. 14 Rublev along the way. Royer has had success on the ATP Challenger Tour this season, winning titles in Kigali and reaching the final in Zadar.

Royer, like Davidovich Fokina, has a strong junior background, peaking at No. 8 in the junior rankings and finishing in third place at the 2019 ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals. He entered as a lucky loser in the current tournament after the withdrawal of last year’s finalist Humbert. Royer has shown his ability to compete against top players, with a 1-3 record against the Top 20, including a victory over Rublev at the Hangzhou tournament. Royer will aim to continue his successful run and advance further in the ATP Masters 1000 event.
