Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Botic van de Zandschulp Wimbledon Prediction

Davidovich Fokina is expected to come through in this match, especially based on his far superior consistency this year. Van de Zandschulp has really struggled to put together a good season, but he will take heart from his straight-sets win over Arnaldi.

The Dutchman will have to produce another high-quality match with good serving and net skills, but even then, it is difficult to see him trouble the Spaniard over a 5 set match.
