Kudla on a Four-Match Losing Streak
Kudla isn’t quite known for his clay court skills but what would be more worrying for the former 53 is his poor form elsewhere as well.
He did make it to the main draw of the Australian Open and won a round there too to kick-start his season’s journey but since then has just one main draw win to his name at the highest level. That came in Delray Beach where he overcame Jordan Thompson in three sets.
And now, Kudla moves over to clay where Kudla has won just five career matches spread across a career that has lasted more than 13 years.
That record, combined with his poor form this season which sees him enter the main draw on a four-match losing streak, make it very difficult times for Kudla ahead of the clay court swing.

Vukic Surprise Qualifier
Vukic might not have ever been ranked better than 117th in the world in his tennis career but that did not stop him from winning back to back qualifiers to make it to the main draw of this event.
The first of those victories came against Chile’s clay-court specialist Alejandro Tabilo, who was a 1/2 favourite to enter the second round.
This was followed by a 6-2, 6-3 rout of Zizou Bergs in the second qualifier and while Vukic was 4/6 going into that encounter, he would have been rather pleased with the manner of victory.
Overall though, Vukic himself is more of a hardcourt player and clay isn’t quite second nature to him. What needs to be seen, therefore, is whether he can take advantage of his opponent’s dismal form overall and on clay in their opener here.
The bookmakers sure seem to think so.
