Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Rei Sakamoto prediction
Aleksandar Kovacevic is already firmly on course for his best-ever season in terms of tour-level wins.
The American will be targeting his ninth of 2026 against world number 164 Rei Sakamoto with his 2025 tally of 13 already within sight.
In contrast, the Japanese wildcard is playing just his seventh tour-level match and has yet to post a maiden win.
We don’t see that changing in this encounter with Kovacevic showing in his recent three-set loss to Novak Djokovic that his higher levels can make him a formidable opponent.
