Kecmanovic - Rune. Prediction for the Australian Open match
Kecmanovic and Rune will meet in the third round of the Australian Open on January 18. Kecmanovic victory over Hurkacz can be largely explained by the Pole not-so-great form. However, the Serb merits cannot be underestimated. He played a truly outstanding match: a stable serve, an aggressive game in rallies and a minimum number of mistakes allowed him to win a confident victory over one of the strongest tennis players in the world.

Match announcement

Miomir Kecmanovic

Current form
Kecmanovic beat Hubert Gukrach (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) in the second round of the Australian Open. Miomir hit six aces in the match against the Pole, converted four break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. In the first round, we recall, the Serb beat his compatriot Dusan Lajovic.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic is an excellent receiver, compensating for the shortcomings of his serve with tenacity and excellent movement. He prefers a counter-attacking style of play, in which he masterfully senses his opponent and makes timely counter-hits. However, Miomir clearly lacks stability on his serve, which may become a problem for him in matches against strong servers.

Kecmanovic won his last trophy in 2020 - then, let us recall, he won the clay court competition in Kitzbühel. This was the first ATP title in the Serb career and the sixth in his overall collection of trophies. Miomir is currently ranked 51st in the world.
