Miomir Kecmanovic v Cristian Garin Head to Head
Kecmanovic and Garin have never faced off before this.
Also Read:
Kecmanovic 6-3 on Clay for 2023
While Kecmanovic was sent packing in the very first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters, he has had a reasonably solid start to the clay court swing otherwise.
Wins over some of the better clay-court specialists outside the top 20 helped him make the final of the Estoril Open earlier this month. And Kecmanovic then followed it up with a victory over the talented and upcoming star Jiri Lehecka on his way to the semifinal of the Banja Luka Open.
Where Kecmanovic struggles is in big clay-court tournaments. At the French Open, for instance, Kecmanovic has never gone past the second round.
In the two editions of the Monte-Carlo Masters he’s played in his career, he hasn’t won a match. It’s been the same case at the Italian Open as well, but over four appearances.
And in Madrid, Kecmanovic has just one win under his belt.
It could be a case of a mental barrier that Kecmanovic would like to break and no better chance than to overcome Garin to set up a potential meeting with Taylor Fritz.

Garin Goes Past Huesler
There has been a steady rise in Garin’s stock this season and it was on display yet again in the first round of the Madrid Masters on Thursday as he cruised to a straight-set win over Marc-Andrea Huesler.
In a match lasting an hour and a half, Garin won 7-6 (5), 6-2 to make it to the second round for the third successive time at this tournament.
A former world number 17, Garin was 0-2 down in the first set but from that point on he slowly clawed his way back by breaking his opponent in the sixth game and then clinching the tie-breaker that followed.
And in the second set, Garin overcame Huesler’s serve twice to ease past him and seal his place in round two.
What needs to be seen is if Garin can make it two wins in a row, something he has done in each of his previous four tournaments including the Houston Open and Munich Open on clay.
Kecmanovic v Garin Prediction and Tip
Garin might be 1/1 to win this but given his overall form he does hold the edge in our eyes. Expecting a hard-fought win though.
