Miomir Kecmanovic vs Nikoloz Basilashvili prediction

Miomir Kecmanovic meets Nikoloz Basilashvili for a second time when they do battle in Chengdu.

The Serb came out on top 7-6 6-2 when they met on clay in Munich back in 2022.

Basilashvili is not the same threat as back then and the 34-year-old has struggled to make much of a mark in main draws this year, with just four wins to his name.

Kecmanovic’s win tally suggests he is not quite at the same level as in his previous four seasons, but he remains a consistent customer and unless Nikoloz rolls back the years with some lights out tennis, you’d have to fancy Miomir to progress here.
