Adrian Mannarino vs Miomir Kecmanovic: Match Preview

Adrian Mannarino

World No. 41 Adrian Mannarino has been having a disaster of a 2020 season, with a very disappointing 4-13 win-loss record.

The 32-year-old’s performances haven’t been convincing at all, with first-round exits in many of the tournaments he played in 2020. His only notable performance in major events was a run into the third round of the US Open 2020, where he lost against eventual finalist, Alexander Zverev. He also won a title at Monterrey – a Challenger event.

World No. 39, Miomir Kecmanovic is still relatively new to the ATP Tour, having turned pro only in 2017. He boasts of a superior 15-9 record in the season, which Mannarino may find daunting. He has been having a great season, with an ATP 250 title at Kitzbuhel and semifinals appearances at the ATP 250 events in New York and Doha. In major events, however, he hasn’t been able to do too much, with his best being second-round appearances at the St. Petersburg Open (where he lost to a lower-ranked Cameron Norrie), and the US Open.

Adrian Mannarino vs Miomir Kecmanovic: Head-to-Head

The two players have never played each other on the ATP Tour, and this will be their first meeting. Thus, the head-to-head stands at 0-0.

Miomir Kecmanovic

If looking at their world rankings, one might say that this match would be a match between two equals. However, Mannarino’s diminishing form and disastrous performances let him down and give the younger Serbian an edge over him.

Match Prediction: Miomir Kecmanovic to win in three sets against Adrian Mannarino.
