Andrey Rublev vs Miomir Kecmanovic prediction
Andrey Rublev suffered an early loss at the Madrid Open, as he lost his opening match to Vit Kopriva in straight sets. He did impress in Barcelona, winning four matches in a row to reach the final. However, he was unable to win his first title of the year as he lost to Arthur Fils. Rublev still remains outside of the top 10 in the world rankings, while he has gone over a year without an event victory.
He begins his campaign against Miomir Kecmanovic. The Serb ended a five-match losing run in round one as he defeated Dalibor Svrcina comfortably. Breaks were traded in the first set, but Kecmanovic was always in control as he wrapped up a 6-2 6-3 win after one hour and 24 minutes.
Rublev leads the head-to-head 2-0 and did not drop a set in either of those matches against Kecmanovic. The Russian will be the clear favourite to win for a third time.
