Carlos Alcaraz is back on the courts a week after he dramatically retained his French Open title. This time he graces the grass court in London, starting his campaign against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Spaniards clash for the third time, with the winner proceeding to face Jaume Munar or Jordan Thompson. We have the prediction for this match below.

Top seed Alcaraz is a former champion here, but last year he was beaten in the opening round. Coming off that massive win, Alcaraz will seek to reignite his emotional attachment with this event.

The first of his three titles on grass was won here.

The one area that has been troubling Alcaraz is dropping sets. Lapses in concentration have been noted, though his recovery from such dips has been remarkable.

This is an area Davidovich Fokina will be keen to exploit and try to down his compatriot. It should not be tough winning a set against Alcaraz, who is still in a celebratory mood.

Davidovich Fokina has consistently won at least a set, but it is his run of form that will let him down here. For starters, he has never beaten or won a set against Alcaraz.

He has suffered five defeats in the last eight matches, and the situation is worse on grass. Davidovich Fokina lost seven of the last 10 grass matches.
