Playing styles and prediction

Since reaching the final in Estoril, Kecmanovic has only won three of the ten matches that he has played and is currently on a three match losing streak. The Serb has an accurate first serve and can test any player with his forehand on his day. Now Kecmanovic will to produce more consistency as this week is his last chance to be seeded for Wimbledon.

Norrie will look be consistent on serve and be clinical on return as he will look to avoid any extreme dips in form. Meanwhile Kecmanovic will look to find confidence on his serve and minimalize the unforced error count. This should be a good match for Norrie to start his grass court season as he will hope for a higher level of play over the next few weeks.

Prediction: Norrie in three sets.
