Fokina thrashes Harris to advance into the Madrid Open second round

MADRID: The Spaniard Davidovich Fokina outpowered South Africa’s top-ranked Tennis player Llyod Harris 7-5, 6-3 to reach the second round of the ongoing Madrid Open, here on Monday.

The Spaniard, who made it to the final of the recently concluded Monte Carlo Masters, last month, has started his Madrid Open campaign on a high as he handed a crushing victory, through the set without facing a breakpoint.

Fokina looked in great shape as he swept to victory by winning 89 percent of his first-serve points and converting two of his three breakpoints.

In another first-round match, Australia’s Alex de Minaur defeated his Spaniard counterpart Pedro Martinez 7-6, 1-6, 6-3 to further advance into the tournament.
