Damir Dzumhur vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction

Aleksandar Vukic looks like he could be heading back in the right direction after a poor run post-Australia saw him drop from 66 to outside the top 100.

The Aussie is back at 93 now and was solid throughout qualifying here.

The 29-year-old’s reward is a second ever clash with Damir Dzumhur, who he defeated in a five-set epic at the Australian Open in January. 

The Bosnian has had a poor hardcourt run since reaching the last four on the clay in Umag and might be vulnerable against a heavy-hitting opponent given his lack of wins of late.

Both players are going to play aggressive, front foot tennis and it just depends on who keeps their unforced errors down. 

If their first match is anything to go by, it should be a real battle and with that in mind we are tipping it to go three.

Damir Dzumhur vs Aleksandar Vukic tip: Over 2.5 sets
