Davidovich Fokina is a dangerous player in a one-off, which is why he’s got 12 wins over top-10 opponents in his career. What has held the 26-year-old back has been his inconsistency. He can look like a completely different player in any given match. His opponent on Sunday, de Minaur, is very much the opposite.

Alex de Minaur sent a signal to junk-balling Frenchman Corentin Moutet – deliberately or not – before even hitting a ball in their Washington semi-final.
