Fokina in surprise mode?

What if Fokina was one of the big outsiders for the final victory?

A really open part of the draw, behind it is logically the TS8 who should join them in the quarter-finals, enough to open the door to a nice tournament for the one who will win this match. Fokina is seeded 4, he will make his entry into the tournament and honestly given the year he is having it is not possible not to take him seriously, the tournaments he has completely missed can be counted on the fingers of one hand, his level of play is quite stable. His Asian tour is a little unlucky because he beats Medvedev twice in a match-up that he hates. Giron is not Medvedev but he also hits flat and attacks intelligently, he is also a very good defender with his explosiveness and his low supports, it does not look like an easy match-up for Foki and even less in a first round when you have to find your marks. The Spaniard doesn't excel indoors either, I wouldn't know how to explain it honestly, maybe the times of year aren't great for him? In the game he tends to want to play super fast and indoors it's less forgiving and you can't do it as easily when you're short on time too, it's not ideal for him. Now with the level of play he's showing this season he can take a step up indoors, it wouldn't surprise me. He'll have to take this step tomorrow given the performance Giron put in against Bellucci, the American was just too good and even he laughed at times because everything went so well for him. He performs every season indoors, he loves it and his flat shots are devastating especially when the court is responsive. He could take out top players this weekend so yes big warning for Fokina
