Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina has had a special season. Very discreet most of the time with many defeats in the first round, he distinguished himself with a final in Monaco and a quarter-final at Wimbledon in particular. It was during this period that he hit the fastest serve of the season. 252 km/h second all time behind Sam Groth and his 263 km/h, but far ahead of the great server Reilly Opelka who did not exceed 237 km/h in 2022.
A surprising flash to say the least that it took place on clay, by a relatively “small” player with his 1m 83. A small consolation for the Spanish player who finished the season with four consecutive defeats in the first round and that makes a small foot of nose to the specialists of the exercise.
