Throughout their clash in Brazil, the Serbian hit 1 ace and won 71% of first serve points behind the first serve, but more impressively, winning 79% behind the second serve. The high success rate behind Kecmanovic’s serve resulted in him facing just one break point throughout the tie.

The Serbian posted an impressive 4th round birth back in January, reaching the last-16 by defeating Caruso, Paul, and Sonego before losing to Monfils in the round-of-16.

Cerundolo Seeking Second Win Over Kecmanovic
Cerundolo is searching for his second win in two weeks over Kecmanovic after defeating him last week in front of his home crowd. Cerundolo kicked off his Rio Open with a 3-set victory over Paire, then backing this up with a straight-sets win over Carballes Baena, defeating the Spaniard 6-3 6-2.
The Argentinian delivered 2 aces during the match and won 87% of points behind the first serve, dropping just 4 points behind this delivery the entire match. The 23-year-old won 51% of return points and was able to break the Carballes Baena serve 4 times throughout thr 71 minute encounter. Winning 63% of points, Cerundolo comfortably booked his spot in the last-8.
In January, Cerundolo lifted silverware on the challenger circuit, winning the Santa Cruz challenger in Bolivia, along the way he defeated Diaz Acosta, Tirante, Moreno De Alboran, Dellien, and finally compatriot Ugo Carabelli in the final 6-4 6-3 to lift the trophy.
A second victory over Kecmanovic would secure a semi-final spot where he would face off against either Schwartzman or Andujar for a spot in the final.
Kecmanovic v Cerundolo Prediction and Tip
Another 3-set battle between these two is definetley on the cards, despite losing out last week in Argentina, Kecmanovic is the slight favourite to book his place in the last-4 and avenge the loss he suffered last week.
