Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, a 25-year-old Spanish tennis player, is ranked number 64 in the world. He reached his career-high ranking of number 21 in August 2023 and has improved his year-end ranking for the last eight consecutive years, finishing at number 26 in 2023. In the 2024 season, he has a record of 18 wins and 20 losses, with three quarterfinal appearances. In the Stockholm tournament, he has a 2-1 record, reaching the second round in 2021 and 2024.

One of Davidovich Fokina’s notable achievements was breaking Novak Djokovic’s serve nine times in a second-round win at the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo. This set a record for the most breaks of Djokovic in a best-of-three-set match and helped him reach his first ATP Tour final of his career. He also advanced to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2021 Roland Garros and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the 2021 Monte Carlo. His victory over Casper Ruud in the third round of the Roland Garros was particularly impressive as it was a five-set match.

In his junior career, Davidovich Fokina ended as the World No. 2 after winning the Wimbledon boys’ singles title in 2017. He had a remarkable record of 20 wins and only 1 loss that year. Off the court, he has a passion for animals and owns two cats. In 2021, he launched Adoptas.org, a pet adoption platform that connects people interested in adopting or fostering pets with shelters and rescues in Spain.

For the Stockholm tournament, Davidovich Fokina aims to reach his 23rd tour-level quarterfinal, with a current record of 5 wins and 17 losses in this stage of the tournament. This season, he has already reached three quarterfinals in Marseille, Dubai, and Atlanta. He has a strong record of 7 wins and 1 loss against players ranked outside the top 200, with his only loss coming against World No. 206 Thiago Seyboth Wild at the 2020 Rio de Janeiro tournament.

On the other side of the net, we have Stan Wawrinka, a 39-year-old Swiss tennis player. He is currently ranked number 217 in the world and reached a career-high ranking of number 3 in 2014. He ended the years 2014 to 2016 as the world number 4. Wawrinka has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, including two left knee surgeries in 2017 and two left foot surgeries in 2021.

Wawrinka’s career highlights include winning three Grand Slam titles, defeating the world number 1 players in each of those finals. He won the 2014 Australian Open by defeating Rafael Nadal, the 2015 Roland Garros by defeating Novak Djokovic, and the 2016 US Open, again defeating Djokovic. He is one of only three players to have defeated Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Nadal at Grand Slam tournaments, joining Tomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

In addition to his Grand Slam success, Wawrinka has won a total of 16 singles titles. Between 2014 and 2016, he had an impressive streak of winning 11 straight finals. One of his notable victories was defeating fellow Swiss player Federer to win his only ATP Masters 1000 title at the 2014 Monte Carlo tournament. He has also achieved success in doubles, winning the 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medal in doubles with Federer and helping Switzerland win the 2014 Davis Cup.

In the Stockholm tournament, Wawrinka aims to win consecutive matches for the first time since reaching the third round of the US Open last year. At 39 years old, he is looking to reach his 112th tour-level quarterfinal and his first since the 2023 Umag tournament. A successful quarterfinal appearance would equal his best result in Stockholm, where he reached the quarterfinals in 2010. If he accomplishes this, he would become the oldest quarterfinalist in the tournament’s history, surpassing Ivo Karlovic, who achieved this feat at the age of 37 in 2016.
