Davidovich Fokina, Alejandro (ESP) - Simon, Gilles (FRA)

ATP Brussels, Belgium hard... experienced Pedro M (28y.o.) from Spain, a typical clay court player, but if he's here, he might surprise his opponent. American Elliot S. (23y.o.), in his element, in good form, on his favorite surface, after a successful tour in China (won one tournament). He cleanly passed through two qualifying rounds, defeating capable opponents (including local ones). While the youngster is on a roll, this tournament round has a higher chance of being successful.
