Medvedev and Kecmanovic met twice last season and both matches were won by Medvedev. Daniil defeated Miomir at Roland Garros and later secured victory over him in Los Cabos. We expect Daniil to win again in the upcoming match.
The two head-to-head encounters between the two players last season were both low-scoring. We expect this matchup to follow a similar pattern.
Medvedev faced Lorenzo Sonego in the first round, who was unable to finish the match due to cramps (7-6, 2-1).
Lorenzo was incredibly close in the first set, which eventually went to Daniil. At the same time, Daniil scored nine set-balls – six on serve at 4:5 and another three on serve at 5:6.
Remarkably, the set lasted almost an hour and a half. Sonego was not physically ready for such an intense game. Lorenzo withdrew early in the second set at 2-1 in favour of his opponent.
Medvedev’s performance was poor in the time the two players spent on the court. For example, he served only 67% of his first serve. Sonego had 10 break points. All in all, he needs to improve.
Medvedev has nine wins in his previous ten encounters as a favourite.
For Kecmanovic, the first round was less emotional. Miomir defeated Christopher O’Connell (6-4, 6-4).
However, if you look at the numbers, it was not a perfect match for Miomir.
Kecmanovic won only 57% of points on his first serve, compared to 72% on his second. The accuracy of the first serve was also so-so – 57%.
In the end, Miomir took advantage of mistakes of Christopher which allowed him to realize three break points.
Kečmanović has lost his last six meetings with the top 10, managing to clinch the set only once.
