Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will square off with Marcos Giron of the United States in the second round of the 2025 European Open in Brussels, Belgium.
Holding a 2-0 record against Giron, Fokina opened as the -175 favorite in this match. However, the +135 underdog Giron still poses a real threat to the Spaniard because of his 17-45 record against the ATP top-20.
Current Form:
Fokina is set to play his first match in Brussels after receiving a first-round bye. The No.4 seed is 1-1 in indoor matches in 2025 and 31-39 overall throughout his career. Ranked No.20 in the world, Fokina faces the difficulty of establishing a win streak over the past two months. The last time Fokina scored back-to-back wins was at the Washington Open, where he defeated Corentin Moutet and Jakub Mensik in straight sets.
Giron snapped a three-match losing streak with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Mattia Bellucci of Italy. Giron held 100 percent of his serves after capturing 82 percent of his first serves and firing 10 aces. He also broke the Italian twice behind 26 return points. Giron carries a 74-50 record in indoor matches in his career.
