Davidovich Fokina, 12th Player to Lose His First 5 ATP Finals
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina could do nothing against Joao Fonseca's power in the Basel final this Sunday. Unfortunately for him, the Spaniard has already reached his 5th lost final on the ATP tour and is still chasing his first title.
According to the X account Jeu, Set et Maths, since the ATP has been organizing the world tour in 1990, he has become the 12th player to lose his first 5 ATP finals.
Among them are players who ultimately never won a title, such as Filip Krajinovic or Julien Benneteau.
But the Spaniard should not lose hope since Felix Auger-Aliassime was in the same situation and has already won 8 ATP titles, just like the Frenchmen Cédric Pioline and Adrian Mannarino who have 5 ATP titles.
