Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez Prediction

Pacheco Mendez is a former junior World No. 1, but at this stage of his young career, the hype around him is just potential. He's still building his reputation and ranking in the senior ranks and the crowd will certainly give him a lift should he feel overwhelmed in his maiden ATP quarterfinal. I reckon Davidovich Fokina will get this done routinely. The Spaniard's response to wasting championship points in the Delray final has been fantastic, winning a couple of close three-setters. Give me Davidovich Fokina on the games handicap.
