Miomir Kecmanovic vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry prediction
Miomir Kecmanovic is a former top 30 singles player, which underlines his pedigree but also a recent drop off in results over an extended period of time that sees him sat outside the top 50 in the world rankings. However, the Australian Open has been good to the Serbian of late, with a fourth and third round finish over the past two editions.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry has also done well in this particular Grand Slam, winning his first round match in each of the last three years. Etcheverry’s powerful backhand can help break open a rally, whilst his service game keeps him on top of the opposition, making him a difficult opponent to beat.
The expectation is that we could be in for a close encounter here between these two players. It would be a big surprise to see one of them run away with it and backing over 3.5 total sets looks to be the smart move.
