Our Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Rinky Hijikata Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Alejandro Fokina survives Rinky Hijikata 7-6, 6-4, 7-6
Reasoning: Fokina is the favorite in this showdown, though Hijikata is looking like an intriguing pick in the game spread betting because of his previous win over the Spaniard. Hijikata stunned Fokina in four sets 7-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round of the 2024 Australian Open. Another reason why Hijikata could give Fokina a run for his money on Wednesday is his solid form to start the season. The Aussie is 4-1 in his first five matches in 2026, absorbing his only loss in a three-set tussle with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the second round of the Brisbane International. Meanwhile, Fokina opened the new season with a loss to Brandon Nakashima in straight sets. The only thing that prevents me from going all in on Hijikata is his poor 0-16 record against the ATP top-20 players.
