ATP Adelaide Day 3 Predictions Including Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Rinky Hijikata
There are only a few days remaining until the start of the Australian Open, but it’s a busy Wednesday on the cards at the warm-up Adelaide tournament. 16 male players will look to make a run at the ATP 250 event, with all of the second round matches scheduled for Wednesday.
This set of LWOT predictions features No. 1 seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, while the other four second round match previews for the men’s tournament are in a separate article.
Fucsovics had the slightly better 2025 season, and he ultimately comes into this matchup ranked 60 spots higher than Shevchenko. Shevchenko did win their only match on the clay courts of Kitzbuhel last year, though the Hungarian’s game is better suited for hard courts as an all-court player. Shevchenko does have more matches under his belt this week, due to qualifying for the main draw, but I see Fucsovics having the edge.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs. Rinky Hijikata Prediction, Odds, Best Bets & How to Watch
Top seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina faces wild card Rinky Hijikata in the second round of the 2026 Adelaide International, with Fokina entering fresh off a first-round bye and Hijikata already through via a straight-sets win over Tristan Schoolkate. Simply put, it’s a straightforward “seed vs. wild card” setup.
From a profile standpoint, Fokina is the higher-ceiling player and the one with the more credible ATP-level resume. Ranked world No. 15 (career-high No. 14 in Nov 2025), he put together multiple finals last season and backed it up with deeper runs in big events. Fokina’s 2025 stats support him as the stronger all-court option with 246 aces, 68% first-serve points won, 31% first-serve return points won, and a solid 43% break-point conversion across 519 opportunities.
