Command Analysis

Mackenzie McDonald

Current form
McDonald defeated Kei Nishikori (7-6, 4-6, 7-5) in the first round of the Delray Beach competition. In a duel with a Japanese veteran, McKenzie made four aces, made five break points and lost five games on his serve. It was the eighth win for the American this season, with four losses.
Professional qualities
McDonald feels confident on a fast hard court, but playing on other surfaces is harder for him. He does well on the counterattack, but he is vulnerable on his serve. Although there are few technical flaws in his game, he lacks pronounced trump cards. Weak striking power reduces the effectiveness of practical jokes and undermines stability.
Current indicators in the tour
McDonald's was once in the top 50 in the world ranking and ranked 37th. However, he currently holds the 123rd position. The 29-year-old American has won six trophies in his career. Last season, he became the winner of the challenger in Shenzhen, which was held on an open hardboard.

Professional qualities
Davidovich-Fokina combines aggression, mobility and athleticism. He delivers powerful punches from both sides, skillfully applies drop shots.
