Davidovich Fokina: "I'm confident for the final".
This Sunday in Delray Beach, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will be playing in his second ATP Tour final, after losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo in 2022.
Three years on, the Spaniard is more confident and feels less pressure. I've always had my sights set on a title," he says.
It's true that I put a lot of pressure on myself, and maybe that's why my game wasn't as fluid as I'd hoped.
In the end, I'm working better and now, with my new team, we've changed a lot of things. I'm much more focused, both on and off the court.
The path I want to take is gradually becoming clearer. I'm really enjoying this experience, I feel at ease.
I'm confident going into the final. I've won some great matches this week, so I'm coming into it with a lot of confidence and calm.
It's true that against Miomir... well, I've never beaten him, they've always been very close matches.
We've known each other since we were kids, we get on well, so I'm going to do everything I can to play at a high level.
I'm not so much thinking about winning the title, but about getting better every day."
