ATP Washington Final: De Minaur vs. Davidovich Fokina odds, picks, and prediction
The Washington Open always produces some surprises.
Given its spot in the calendar — just a couple of weeks after Wimbledon and right before the Canadian Masters — it catches a lot of the best players in an awkward spot.
That leaves the door open for a player like Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to crash the party.
The Spaniard is no also-ran, and is the current World No. 26, but he's never won a title in his ATP career.
He can break that schneid with a win over Alex de Minaur on Sunday.

Player Odds Alex de Minaur -250 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina +200 Odds via bet365
There's no question about Davidovich Fokina's talent. He's a terrific shot-maker and a player who can drive his opponents nuts with his ability to level up for a game, set, or a match.
Davidovich Fokina is a dangerous player in a one-off, which is why he's got 12 wins over top-10 opponents in his career.
What has held the 26-year-old back has been his inconsistency. He can look like a completely different player in any given match.
His opponent on Sunday, de Minaur, is very much the opposite.

The Australian is relentless, consistent, and wants to wear down his opponents with long rallies.
That could spell trouble for Davidovich Fokina, who wants to keep points shorter than de Minaur, relying on his ability to paint lines and pull points from out of nowhere.
Given how much time Davidovich Fokina has spent on court in this tournament compared to de Minaur, you'd have to give the edge to the Australian, should things stay on script.
But the Spaniard has a way of getting matches to zig and zag, which could unsettle the Aussie in this final.
Davidovich Fokina is 0-3 in his career with a trophy on the line, but he's good value to finally get into the winner's circle on Sunday.
The Play: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (+200, bet365)

Spanish rider Garcia becomes the oldest stage winner at women's Tour de France at age 41
QUIMPER, France (AP) — Mavi Garcia became the oldest rider to win a stage at the women's Tour de France on Sunday. The 41-year-old Spaniard clinched the second stage with a solo breakaway. She looked back twice before realizing she would not be caught and then raised her arms aloft at the finish line. Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten was 39 when she won a mountain stage on the 2022 women's Tour, organizers said. Garcia attacked with about 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) left on the 110.4-kilometer hilly stage through Brittany and ending in Quimper. She looked like being caught near the end as the peloton loomed large behind her, but she kicked in and won by three seconds. 'I've been racing for a long time and I hadn't been having my best year, but this win really gives me a massive boost of energy,' Garcia said. 'I really didn't believe I was going to win at the end. I've tried many times like that and it never worked out, so I just couldn't believe it until I was five meters from the line.' Dutchwoman Lorena Wiebes was second and Kim Le Court of Mauritius took third place in a sprint to the line. Le Court did just enough to take the race leader's yellow jersey from cycling great Marianne Vos, who won Saturday's opening stage in a close finish and placed fifth on Sunday. Le Court and Vos have the same overall time after two stages, but Le Court now leads overall courtesy of her better combined stage finishes over the first two days. Stage 3 on Monday is a flat stage for sprinters, ending in the western city of Angers. The nine-stage race ends on Aug. 3. Last year provided the smallest winning margin in the history of the women's and men's races, with Polish rider Kasia Niewiadoma beating 2023 champion Demi Vollering by four seconds, and Pauliena Rooijakkers only 10 seconds off the pace in third place. ___
