Jordan Thompson Faces Aleksandar Kovacevic at Libema Open

‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands — Jordan Thompson, ranked No. 40, will face No. 76 Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first round of the ATP Libema Open on Monday. The match is highly anticipated after Thompson’s strong performance on grass courts in past tournaments.

Thompson is favored to win the match, with odds set at -235 compared to Kovacevic’s +180. This implies that Thompson has a 70.1% chance of victory based on the moneyline, according to recent updates.

The match will take place at the Autotron Rosmalen, starting at 11:40 p.m. AEST. Fans can watch the event live on Sky Sports Tennis in the UK and on the Tennis Channel in the US.

Thompson boasts significant experience on grass, having reached the finals of the Libema Open twice. He has a favorable head-to-head record against Kovacevic, winning two out of three previous encounters. Their last match in Newport two years ago ended with Thompson winning decisively, 6-0, 6-1.

Despite the forecasts favoring Thompson, other betting analyses suggest that Kovacevic might present a tougher challenge this time. With less experience on grass at this level, Kovacevic will need to leverage any opportunities to turn the tide in his favor.

The betting odds in Australia have Thompson listed at $1.44 and Kovacevic at $2.75. As the game approaches, predictions and betting tips will adjust based on the latest performances and conditions.

With both players looking to make their mark at this prestigious event, the match promises to be an exciting start to the tournament.
