Playing style
Davidovich Fokina employs an aggressive baseline game characterized by powerful groundstrokes, one of the tour's best drop shots, and sharp-angled returns. Not the tallest, he compensates with explosive movement and diving shotmaking across surfaces, often using underarm serves. His level fluctuates in matches, making him dangerous through variety and athleticism but vulnerable to consistency lapses.
