Davidovich Fokina: S— Tennis

Davidovich Fokina: “Today Was a Very S— Match”

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina didn’t mince words after a chaotic three-set win over Jack Draper at the Monte Carlo Masters: 3-6, 7-6(6), 6-4.

The match was a mess—ten breaks of serve, streaky momentum swings, and missed chances galore.

Despite the win, Davidovich Fokina wasn’t exactly thrilled. He apologized to his team post-match, admitting:

“My mind was saying me a lot of bulls—.”

When a Dutch interviewer tried to spin it as “amazing,” the Spaniard shot back:

“I think you are lying. Today was a very s— match.”

Draper contributed ten double faults, and both players struggled to convert when in control of points. Instead of long, tactical exchanges, the match devolved into early errors and missed opportunities.

Still, match data showed Davidovich Fokina slightly outperformed his average.

In the end, maybe “s— tennis” is just a matter of perspective.
