Jakub Mensik vs Miomir Kecmanovic: Preview and Predictions for ATP Vienna Match

Jakub Mensik, the 51st-ranked tennis player in the world, is set to face off against Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna on Thursday, October 24, 2024. This match marks the first competitive encounter between the Czech and Serbian players.

Mensik has been in strong form recently, having reached the final in the Canberra Challenger and Doha earlier in the season. He has compiled a 39-22 win-loss record in 2024, with a notable 5-1 record on indoor hard courts. In the first round of the Erste Bank Open, Mensik secured a straight-sets victory over Alexei Popyrin, winning 7-6(3) 6-2. During this match, Mensik was highly effective on serve, winning 83% of his first serve points and 61% of his second serve points, and he did not concede a single break.

Kecmanovic, on the other hand, has also shown promising form, having recently beaten a higher-ranked player and winning three of his last four matches against top-ranked opponents. Despite being slightly lower in the ATP rankings (58th), Kecmanovic’s recent performances suggest he could pose a significant challenge to Mensik.

The match is expected to be closely contested, with Mensik favored by some predictions due to his strong service game and overall performance on indoor hard courts. However, other analysts suggest that Kecmanovic’s ability to upset higher-ranked players makes him a viable contender for the win.

The match is scheduled to start at 12:00 PM on the #GLAUBANDICH court, and fans can follow the action through various live streaming services, although these may not be available in all countries, including the USA.
