LiontipsKecmanovic - Lajovic. Betting Tip and bets for the Australian Open match
Command Analysis
Current form
At the start of the new season, Kecmanovic left the tournament in Hong Kong after the second round. But at the competition in Adelaide last week, he managed to reach the semifinals. Last season, Miomir had ten wins and 15 losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic is known for his consistency and patience on the court. He keeps the ball in play until his opponent makes a mistake or gives him a chance to counter-attack. His main asset is a reliable two-handed backhand, which he uses both defensively and offensively. He can also effectively move the ball down the line using his set forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Kecmanovic is the world 51st racket. In total, Miomir has won six trophies in his career, one of which is an ATP category. He won it in 2020 at the tournament in Kitzbühel, in the final of which the Serb beat Yannick Hanfmann.
Interesting facts for betting
Last year, Kecmanovic managed to reach the fourth round on the courts of Melbourne.
Current form
Lajovic is traditionally having a difficult start to the new season. He hung up his racket at the Brisbane tournament after the second round. And at the tournament in Adelaide last week, he failed to overcome the qualification, losing to Adam Walton. On open hard courts, Dusan had three wins in ten matches last season.
Professional qualities
Lajovic prefers a measured and deliberate game. He is reliable in defense and knows how to rock opponents with his forehand in long rallies. However, his one-handed backhand is most stable on clay, but on hard it often fails, especially at a high pace.
Current indicators in the tour
Lajovic is the 80th racket in the world. During his career, he has won 14 trophies. He won the last one in 2023. Then he won on the clay courts of Banja Luka, beating Andrey Rublev in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Lajovic has lost nine of his last 11 hardcourt matches against higher-ranked opponents.

1.88Tip and bets
Lajovic leads his head-to-head with Kecmanovic 2-0. However, both of those victories were won on clay. Dusan is not very good on hard, and with age he has become even slower. We believe that the upcoming match will be under the control of Miomir, who is in excellent shape.
Our prediction is a victory for Kecmanovic with a handicap of (-6) games at odds of 1.89
Bet on total
Despite the fact that both head-to-head encounters between the tennis players were played over the top, we expect a quick outcome in the upcoming match. Kecmanovic is definitely in better shape now than his compatriot, and therefore we expect him to win convincingly in three sets.
The second betting tip is total under 36 games with odds of 1.93
Bet on the first set
Three of Lajovic last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games, and we expect his upcoming encounter with Kecmanovic to also start with a high first set.
