James Duckworth vs Dalibor Svrcina prediction

James Duckworth will be hoping to end a three-match losing run when he competes in the Mexican Open. The Australian was defeated by world number two Jannik Sinner in the second-round of his home slam in Melbourne and then fell to a disappointing loss to Andres Andrade as Australia were defeated by Ecuador in Davis Cup qualifying. The third defeat in a row would arrive in Dallas, as Duckworth lost to Eliot Spizzirri in straight sets.

He faces Dalibor Svrcina in Acapulco. His form has not been particularly inspiring either, as he lost to Jaume Munar in round one of the Australian Open despite having a match point, and his most recent tournament saw him fail to qualify for the Delray Beach Open after a straight sets loss to Rinky Hijikata. 

Neither player is a particular favourite on this occasion, and there’s a strong chance that this match heads into a deciding set.

James Duckworth vs Dalibor Svrcina tip: Both players to win a set
