Awe-inspiring Alejandro Davidovich Fokina comes from two sets down to down Felix Auger-Aliassime in late night Australian Open epic
ATP
There is already a match of the tournament, and we are only in the second round of the Australian Open 2025. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has completed a magical comeback against Felix Auger-Aliassime, who had beaten him in the first two sets.
In the third round we can continue to enjoy the tennis of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Despite his tough pairing against Auger-Aliassime, the Spaniard has knocked out the Canadian by a score of 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.
Losing the first two sets of a Grand Slam match, both in the tie break, is usually very hard for the victim. However, Davidovich showed a tremendous lesson in resilience today with a comeback he will remember for the rest of his life.
After the first two sets, Davidovich Fokina continued to insist on his good play. In the end, he went all the way to a tiebreak in both, so Auger-Aliassime was not being superior either. At 3-3, Davidovich found his moment to break the Canadian's serve, and he was to maintain the advantage to close the set 6-4 with an empty set.
Taking advantage of the "moméntum", the Spaniard gave his opponent two breaks in a row in the fourth set, to take a 4-0 lead. Davidovich was growing more and more, and went to the fifth and final set breaking Auger-Aliassime's serve, so he was going to start serving in the final set.
The equality was to be maintained in the fifth set until 4-6 in favor of Davidovich. There, the Spaniard broke his opponent's serve and left him down. With his serve, Alejandro culminated a memorable comeback, and the match of the Australian Open 2025 without any doubt.
It also came just after the epic between Thanasi Kokkinakis and Jack Draper in what was a night of late night epics culminating in the Brit and the Spaniard moving through. While Auger-Aliassime after such good form as of late will be cursing his luck after succumbing to the comeback.
