"The conditions are slower than in other years," says Davidovich Fokina

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina made a successful start to his Wimbledon campaign on Monday, defeating Brandon Holt in straight sets.

In comments shared with the ATP, the Spaniard spoke about the playing conditions: "It's slower than in other years, and the ball gets very heavy; you can feel it, but you don’t do as much damage.

But you have to adapt to everything, and today I played well, and I’ll take advantage of that." He will face either Botic van de Zandschulp or Matteo Arnaldi in the next round, a match that was interrupted by darkness.
