Head-to-head statistics Kecmanovic - Butvilas
Miomir Kecmanovic Player Overview
Miomir Kecmanovic is ranked 61st in the world but has been inconsistent over his last 10 matches, winning just 4 and losing 6. Most recently he lost to Denis Shapovalov at the US Open, and before that to Fabian Marozsan. His only win in that run came against Shо Shimabukuro in the first round in Winston-Salem. Kecmanovic holds serve in 78% of service games, which is a strength, though his sets-won and games-won percentages - both 48% - are no better than his opponent's. It is also worth noting that he tends to face opponents who serve a high average number of aces.

His recent results include two confident wins at the Istanbul Challenger, where he beat Gabrel Ghetu and Miguel Tobon before falling in the quarter-finals to Max Basing. The Lithuanian wins 54% of games and 59% of sets - both noticeably better than his opponent's figures. On serve, he holds 73% of service games, and he hits more aces than Kecmanovic - 5.2 per match compared to 3.2.

The pick is Edas Butvilas - Games Handicap +3.5.
