Kovacevic Struggling to Win Main Draw Matches
At one point this season, Kovacevic was nudging up to the top 100 on the ATP charts having reached a career-best ranking of 101st. Since March, however, he has won no main draw match at the highest level and even after featuring in six Challenger tournaments, he has clinched just one victory.
That he has not fallen to worse than a ranking of 129th in the world is down to having not a lot of points to defend from the previous season but as he approaches the rest of the US Open Swing, he will know he needs to turn things around.
And quickly at that.
Because it was in the second half of the previous season that Kovacevic had started to get traction – winning a Challenger title and reaching the semifinal of the Seoul Open. He has a good chance here to win his first match in over four months as he faces a shock qualifier.

Omni Takes a Giant Step Up
This will be the first time in his career that Omni will feature in the main draw of an ATP competition and that has been thanks to his sterling display in the qualifying draw.
The five-time Futures tournament winner, Omni overcame Renzo Olivo and Jason Jung in the qualifiers to enter the first round and both those wins were nearly against the run of play.
Against Olivo, Omni was 9/10 odds to come through. He led him 6-1, 4-1 when Olivo retired from the match.
This was followed by his win over Jung in which he was a 9/5 underdog and yet overcame his opponent in a fighting three-setter.
What’s interesting to note is that Omni Kumar has featured in six Challenger tournaments this season and won no main draw match. More importantly, in four of them he was forced to feature in the qualifiers and did not make it through to the main draw.
All of a sudden, this will be a huge step-up for the American 21-year-old.
Kovacevic v Kumar Prediction and Tip
Kovacevic has a good chance to make it through here and win his first main draw match since March. Might see a fight though.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Kovacevic to win: 1/4
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6
