Command Analysis

Last week, Kecmanovic played two matches for the Serbian national team at the Davis Cup. He defeated Elmer Moller, but then lost to Holger Rune. Miomir has seven wins with four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Kechmanovich stands out for his excellent physical fitness, which allows him to play number two without noticeable slumps throughout the match. Excellent reading of the game and psychological stability help the Serbian to choose the right moments for counterattacks. In optimal form, he can seriously complicate the life of even tennis players like Shapovalov.
Current indicators in the tour
Kechmanovich is outside the top 50 in the world ranking - in 55th place. In total, the Serbian tennis player has won six trophies during his career, one of which is the ATP category. He won his last title in 2020, winning a clay tournament in Kitzbuhel.

Shapovalov played his last match at the Australian Open. As part of the Australian major, Denis beat Roberto Bautista-Agut in the first round, but then lost to Lorenzo Musetti. Last season, the Canadian had 13 wins and five losses on indoor hard court.
Professional qualities
Shapovalov builds the game on aggression. The Canadian likes to attack and often relies on a forehand, although his one-handed backhand is also very effective.
