LiontipsKecmanovic vs Korda. ATP Adelaide Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Kecmanovic advanced to the semi-finals of the Adelaide tournament thanks to a win over Benjamin Bonzi (6-2, 6-3). Miomir hit 12 aces in the match against the Frenchman, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Serb beat Christopher O'Connell and Alexander Bublik.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic always tries to adapt to the pace of his opponent and maintain the set rhythm of the game. His style cannot be called brightly attacking or defensive - the Serb is more focused on counter-attacking tennis with an emphasis on reliability. However, Miomir's serve leaves much to be desired: it is unstable, which often prevents him from taking easy points. The main advantages of Kecmanovic's game are a good forehand and a very stable backhand, which allows him to win long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
In total, Kecmanovic has won six trophies during his career, including an ATP title. The Serbian tennis player last won in 2020, when he won the clay court competition in Kitzbühel, where he beat Yannick Hanfmann in the final. Miomir is ranked 55th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Kecmanovic has won 4 of his last 5 matches.
Current form
Korda reached the semifinals of the tournament in Adelaide after Thanasi Kokkinakis withdrew from the quarterfinal due to injury. In the second round, we recall, Sebastian beat Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina.
Professional qualities
Korda is a technically versatile tennis player with virtually no weaknesses in his game. He has a powerful serve, a quality backhand that can compete with even the strongest forehands in the rounds, and excellent movement around the court. Sebastian rarely makes mistakes and knows how to change the rhythm of rallies well, which makes him a very dangerous opponent at any stage of the match. However, the American's main problem is mental instability. His game often sags as he moves up the grid, especially in major tournaments.
Current indicators in the tour
Korda finished last season with one trophy. He won the competition in Washington, where the American beat Flavio Cobolli in the final. It should be noted that this was the second ATP title in Sebastian's career. Korda is currently ranked 22nd in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Korda left Adelaide in the semi-finals last season.

Kecmanovic learned his opponent from the first round of the Australian Open - it was his compatriot Lajovic. Such a situation may affect the Serb's motivation in the upcoming fight against Korda. Miomir is now clearly stronger than Lajovic, and therefore may well choose the tactic of saving strength before the start of the major in Melbourne.
Our prediction is Korda's victory with odds of 1.78
