Playing styles and prediction

The Serbian made a big breakthrough at the Australian Open, where he reached the fourth round where he lost to Gael Monfils. Kecmanovic has a big forehand matched with a good serve which allows him to dictate points and be consistent enough to break his opponents down.  

Broady will need to be aggressive but also show good defensive shot-making to force errors out of the Serbian’s game. Consistency will be the main factor to see who can advance into the second round with conditions likely to suit Kecmanovic’s game. Broady can take further steps into his development with a good performance as he aims for a top 100 place.

Prediction: Kecmanovic in three sets.
