Fokina ‘served’ the match to the Dane on a silver platter

The thirty-fourth seed displayed exemplary skill and sense throughout the game, except for his last serve. Fokina almost had the match, with an 8-5 lead, but when the scorecard read 8-8, the Spaniard had to serve, and this cost him the match. He opted for an underarm serve which numbed every person watching the match, leaving the fans disappointed.

Rune had already saved five match points till then, and he just needed a shot to use them. The crosscourt forehand of Fokina did the job for the Dane as he sealed the match with a lightening fast return to the serve. The 20-year-old said that it was unbelievable on the part of Fokina to opt for such a serve because he had been serving amazingly throughout the match. But to cash the opportunity, Rune revealed that he had to move really fast, and he did!

The Dane plays the winner of Tiafoe Vs. Grigor Dimitrov in his fourth round. The match was suspended due to rain, and Dimitrov was leading the game for now, winning both sets. Whom do you think Rune will play against?
