Miomir Kecmanovic vs Cristian Garin Pick – Tennis Predictions & Odds 4/29/23

Miomir Kecmanovic will meet Cristian Garin in the Second Round of the 2023 Madrid Masters. The match will be played on Saturday April 29th, 2023.

Miomir Kecmanovic is seeded 27th here at the 2023 Madrid Masters and is ranked 33rd on the ATP Tour. The Serbian has been much improved over the past few seasons, especially his clay court play. He has been having a good yet inconsistent season in 2023, reaching Finals in Estoril and Delray Beach, and was in the Semi-Finals at the Srpska Open last week. His all-around game is well suited for this surface, and he is sure to give Cristian Garin a serious test.

Cristian Garin isn’t seeded here at the 2023 Madrid Masters, but he is well known to be one of the best clay court players in the world when he is in form. That form has deserted him over the past few seasons after breaking into the top 20, but he has shown signs recently, with back to back Quarter-Final appearances in Houston and Munich. He was impressive in his win over Marc-Andrea Huesler in the First Round, showing his trademark aggressive baseline game, controlling the match from start to finish. He is the slight underdog here, but definitely has the upside to cause the small upset.

This should be a huge battle from start to finish, between two young yet experienced. players. I think it’ll go right down to the wire, but I am picking Cristin Garin to win here at the Madrid Masters. I am a big fan of the Chilean’s clay court game, and hope that he is finally turning the corner to get back to the top. Miomir Kecmanovic has been the better player this season so it won’t be easy, but give me Garin and his upside here.
