Davidovich-Fokina avenges tough loss in Canada with convincing win over Etcheverry in 1st round of Cincinnati Open

Despite falling hard against Alex de Minaur in the semifinals of the Canadian Open, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina continued some of the best form of his sporting career.

Today, he has dispatched without too many complications the world number 31, Tomas Etcheverry, 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of the Cincinnati Open.

He started the first set very strong with a 4-0 lead. Etcheverry came back to 4-2 but did not concede his serve once more and closed it out 6-3.

The second set was more even. Although on this occasion, the Argentine did not even get a break while Davidovich managed two, the second to conclude the match.

In the second round he will not have the easiest match of his life, as he faces Novak Djokovic, who lost today in the doubles in his debut in the tournament but will come with the desire to eat the world, as he has been waiting 4 years to play in the United States and has a first opportunity to snatch the world number 1 from Carlos Alcaraz.
