Ugo Humbert vs Miomir Kecmanovic : Preview
Ugo Humbert will look to continue his good run on Grass at the Mallorca Open 2021 as well as he comes from a successful week at the ATP Halle Open 2021. He has already qualified for the semi-finals and will face Canadian youngster Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the finals.
Humbert had a poor Clay season and also didn’t enjoy much success on the Hardcourts. However, he has finally found some good form and consistency moving into the Grass season as he has already defeated the likes of Alexander Zverev, Sam Querrey and Sebastian Korda at the week in Halle.
Miomir Kechmanovic will be back on Grass for the first time since his 2nd round defeat at the 2019 Wimbledon. He had a good season on Grass that year, making good runs in the tournament which included his runner-up finish at the 2019 Antalya Open.
Kecmanovic has not been in great form this season having lost majority of his matches. He will be looking to bring his 2019 Grass form again this year to get some wins under his belt.
