One more match that I'm interested in during the early hours of Thursday morning is the Adelaide International clash between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Valentin Vacherot. Anyone who read my preview of Vacherot's previous match will know that I didn't really fancy the Monégasque player. Fortunately, for him, with his opponent withdrawing, he didn't need to hit a ball to reach the quarter finals. That should leave him nice and fresh, but will he be able to tussle with a higher-ranked player having not properly warmed up with a last-16 match? Probably not.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina is a strong player in these sorts of matches, while he looked in decent form when beating Rinky Hijikata in straight sets during the previous round. With that win under his belt, the world number 14 shouldn't struggle getting the better of a player who is unlikely to be ranked inside the top 50 for too long.

Our Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Valentin Vacherot Prediction
As far as I'm concerned, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina could easily be a stronger favorite to get the better of Valentin Vacherot, who had the benefit of his opponent withdrawing during the last round. Sure, since he didn't play, Vacherot should be nice and fresh, but he likely won't be as up to speed at Davidovic Fokina, and this is key. Already up against a player with more winning experience at this level, without building momentum during the last round, Vacherot could struggle.
After all, when the pair previously met, back in 2024, the Spaniard made light work of beating his Monégasque opponent.
