Kecmanovic came to Madrid after a successful Munich showdown. At that tournament in Germany, the Serb reached the semi-finals, edging out Max Hans Rehberg (6-2, 6-3), Daniel Altmaier (6-4, 6-2) and Nikoloz Basilashvili (7-5, 6-2). One step away from the final, he was stopped by Botic Van De Zandschulp (6:2, 6:7, 4:6).
