Vukic vs Jacquet Prediction 23 September 2026
🔊 At the ATP 250 in Hangzhou, Aleksandar Vukic arrives looking to match or better his result from last year, which ended in the second round. Kyrian Jacquet, making his debut at this tournament, will stand in his way. The odds on the two players are very close, as is their ATP ranking - though despite sitting 16 places below Vukic in the rankings, Jacquet is the bookmakers' favourite. We'll see whether Kyrian can justify that status.
Head-to-Head
📊 In their only previous meeting, Aleksandar Vukic won 7-6, 6-1. That match took place just recently - at the end of last month, at the Challenger in Quebec.
Head-to-head statistics Vukic - Jacquet
Aleksandar Vukic Player Overview
Aleksandar Vukic arrives at the first round having won six of his last ten matches. Going into this tournament he lost two in a row, though his most recent win came against his upcoming opponent. On serve, Vukic holds 75% of his service games - a solid figure for a player ranked in the second fifty, though below the tour average. He also wins 56% of all games, which translates into taking 65% of sets, aided in part by a first-serve percentage of 65%.
Match Results: Aleksandar Vukic
Kyrian Jacquet Player Overview
Kyrian Jacquet has won five of his last ten matches. His most recent tournament was the US Open, where he failed to come through qualifying, losing in the second round. Jacquet holds serve in 74% of service games - slightly below Vukic's figure. His set-winning percentage stands at just 52%, which reflects an overall inconsistency in results despite a roughly even split between points won on serve and return. His scoring output is also limited: across those ten matches he has not exceeded 13 games in a single match, which constrains his ceiling - particularly given that clay is his primary surface.
Match Results: Kyrian Jacquet
Key factors
- Aleksandar Vukic has consistently gone over 12.5 games in recent matches.
- Vukic has won 56% of all games across his last ten matches.
- In their only previous meeting last month, Vukic beat Kyrian Jacquet convincingly.
Expected scenario
Aleksandar Vukic looks the stronger player here, given his recent hard-court form against this same opponent. In terms of games won, serve reliability and rally win rate, he can reasonably expect to extend his run of high-scoring matches. There is also a sense that he could take the match overall, particularly with Kyrian Jacquet making his Hangzhou debut and having a preference for clay.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Aleksandar Vukic looks to be in better form: he consistently wins more than half of all games, and recently beat Kyrian Jacquet without much trouble, on the same hard courts. His stats for sets won and service points won suggest both a high scoring match and a solid defence of his ranking points in Hangzhou. His underdog status in the odds is therefore somewhat surprising. We suggest taking advantage of that discrepancy with Vukic - Games Handicap +2.5.
