Command Analysis

Alexander Bublik

Current form
Bublik has not yet entered the court in an official match in the new season. Last year, Alexander won ten games on open hard courts, but suffered 14 losses. The last tournament for the representative of Kazakhstan in the past season was the Masters in Paris, which he left after the second round, losing to Holger Rune.
Professional qualities
Bublik has a powerful tennis style, but he has no obvious weaknesses from a technical point of view. Alexander often plays unpredictably, which allows him to confuse his opponents, although sometimes his own decisions become a problem for him. The Kazakh’s main weakness is psychological instability. Even a few lost rallies can throw him off balance.
Current indicators in the tour
Bublik is ranked 33rd in the world. Following the results of last season, Alexander has a victory in the tournament in Montpellier. In that competition, he beat Borna Coric in the final. For the representative of Kazakhstan, this was the fourth ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Bublik will have to defend last year's semi-final on the courts of Adelaide.

Miomir Kecmanovic

Current form
Kecmanovic started the new season at the tournament in Hong Kong. In that competition, he beat Luciano Darderi in the first round, but then failed to cope with Alexander Muller, the future winner of the tournament. Last year, the Serb had ten wins and 15 losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Kecmanovic is a player whose two-handed backhand can be called very stable and high-quality. He puts his whole body into this shot, and often the backhand is more powerful than the forehand, while maintaining excellent control. However, the Serb's weak point is the lack of speed along the baseline, which is a problem for his passive-waiting style of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Kecmanovic left the top 50 of the world rankings at the end of last year and is now in 55th place. The Serb spent last season without trophies. Moreover, he did not reach further than the quarterfinals in any tournament. The last time Miomir won a title was in 2020 - then he won his first ATP trophy in his career at the competitions held in Kitzbühel.
Interesting facts for betting
Kecmanovic has won just two of his last six matches.

Kecmanovic demonstrated a stable and confident game at the recent tournament in Hong Kong, which suggests that the Serb is currently in good shape. Bublik, in turn, has not played a single match this season, which creates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding his current condition. We believe that Miomir should be given preference in this pair.
Our prediction is a victory for Kecmanovic with odds of 1.81
