Jakub Mensik vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Prediction & Picks - ATP Australian Open

Prediction published on 1/16/25, 5:14 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 1/16/25 at 5:21 AM in ATP Australian Open Picks

We're now nearly a week into the action in Melbourne, where the first Grand Slam of the 2025 season is taking place. On Friday, or late Thursday night for those in the US, at the Australian Open, there's a match between Jakub Mensik and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Both players come into this round having seen off higher-ranked opponents last time out, meaning that we should see two confident players take to the court, though there's reason to feel that Mensik deserves a little more respect in the betting.

Jakub Mensik - Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Key Points

Jakub Mensik arrives off the back of beating the much higher-ranked Casper Ruud by three sets to one.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina had a really tough five-set match against Auger-Aliassime, which means he could be less well rested for this one.
When the pair last met on a hard court, Mensik had to retire due to injury.
A few weeks before retiring with injury (2024), Mensik beat Davidovich Fokina in straight sets on a hard court in Doha.

Our Jakub Mensik vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Prediction

Naturally, having beaten recent Adelaide winner Felix Auger-Aliassime in five sets, the Spaniard will be high on confidence, but that was a real battle, one that lasted nearly five hours, so he's also likely to be high on fatigue, which is perhaps not something that can be said for Mensik who got the job done against the world number six in under three hours. That win suggests that he's ready to go deep into this tournament and it also suggests that the Czech player can get the job done here. Given that he also beat Davidovich Fokina in straight sets on a hard surface when the pair last met (and both were fit), Mensik looks a little generously priced to win by two sets here. Our Pick: Jakub Mensik -1.5 Set Handicap.
