At this Stage
Davidovich Fokina has turned a complicated little route into a seeded fourth-round meeting: Cerúndolo, Marozsán, then Fucsovics in straight sets once the first-set breaker was banked. The 7-6(3) 6-2 6-3 score sends him into Auger-Aliassime, the highest seed left in this quarter slice, and it does so with his return game already warm from 15 break chances. Fucsovics had done his damage by taking out Van Assche and Tien; here he could not make the serve pressure travel past the opener.

What we know now
What I said beforehand
The preview, frozen before the first serve. Clearly dated, never rewritten — that's the deal that makes the pick worth anything.
Davidovich Fokina, with less confidence than his form deserves. The 22nd seed has been the cleaner player — a 6-3 6-0 6-3 dismantling of Marozsán is the kind of scoreline that says the focus is holding — and his athleticism gives him more ways to win a grass point than Fucsovics's flat, physical baseline game. But the Hungarian is this section's quiet assassin: he beat the No. 16 seed Tien in four and his strength holds up in long exchanges. The head-to-head is 1-1, both off grass, both tight. The Spaniard's shot-making should tell; his history of giving matches away is the only reason this isn't two points higher.
The case for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
58% to winDavidovich Fokina has dropped no sets and is coming off his most complete match of the year — 6-3 6-0 6-3 over a dangerous ball-striker. He is the more creative athlete on a surface that rewards improvisation, and at 22nd he is finally seeded where his talent has long pointed.
The case for Márton Fucsovics
42% to winFucsovics has beaten a top-16 seed in four sets and dropped just one set through two rounds. His flat power and physicality neutralize flair players, and their head-to-head — 1-1, both matches decided late — says this is closer to a coin flip than the seedings admit.
Both cases written 2026-07-02, before the first ball — frozen into the record exactly as written, whatever the result. The percentages are mine, quoted to a decimal because false precision is funnier — and tennis has no draw to hide the rounding in.
My locked pick: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to advance ✓ RIGHT
“The cleaner two rounds and the more creative grass game — his focus holding is the only real question.”

Storylines
- Davidovich Fokina's 6-3 6-0 6-3 second round was among the most lopsided wins of the day — the No. 22 seed's focus, long his variable, has held for two rounds.
- Fucsovics took out No. 16 seed Learner Tien in four sets and has the physical baseline game that historically bothers shot-makers.
- They have split two prior meetings, neither on grass — a fourth-round debut here awaits the winner.
