Lloyd Harris vs Aleksandar Kovacevic prediction

Aleksandar Kovacevic faces Lloyd Harris for the first time in what is sure to be a big-serving contest.

The American has had a tough spell of late with only a quarter-final run at Winston-Salem ending a slump of ten defeats in 12 prior to losing at the US Open at the first hurdle.

The world number 80 will want to end the year heading in the right direction in the rankings and Harris may be the ideal opponent for him to kick-start some form.

The South African qualifier has picked up the winning habit across Challenger events, but has struggled to make much impact in main draws at the highest level.

The world number 136 has the serve to go deep in sets, but is struggling to deliver in the big moments and as a result, a punt on a decent number of games is worthwhile.
