Kecmanovic on a Three-Match Losing Streak
Miomir Kecmanovic heads into the tournament not in the best of forms. The world no. 47 is 20-24 at the tour level this year but has won just one match in the last four tournaments that he has featured in.
That one win came in the first round in Toronto. He went down in the second round of that tournament and made first round exits in Hamburg, Cincinnati and the US open.
Before the last four tournaments, Kecmanovic enjoyed a fantastic run in 2023. He reached two ATP finals in Delray Beach and Estoril, but lost in both the finals. Additionally he was also a semifinalist in Banja Luka and Gstaad.
The 2020 Estorial Open champion will look to end his three-match losing streak and return to winning ways.
