Francisco Cerundolo vs Miomir Kecmanovic Prediction

There isn’t a lot going on in Cerundolo’s season and he hasn’t won back-to-back matches since Toronto. The same can be said of Kecmanovic’s dire form. The Serbian has underachieved in recent weeks and hasn’t made the third round in this tournament. I’d give Cerundolo the edge. He constructs points better and has fluid movement on any surface.
