TENNIS FREE BETTING TIP: Miomir Kecmanovic vs Tommy Paul

Details:

Miomir Kecmanovic had a negative record (17-27) last season finishing the year at No. 77 on the ATP rankings. After the Australian Open, the 24-year-old Serbian will definitely go up on the rankings and might reach his best ranking at No. 38.

Kecmanovic should have played his fellow Serbian Novak Djokovic in the first round but since the world No. 1 was deported from the country, Kecmanovic faced the ‘lucky loser’ Salvatore Caruso. Kecmanovic won easily by 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 in 1 hour and 57 minutes. The Serbian win 72% of the points on his serve and 58% on the opponent’s serve.

Kecmanovic is 2-1 for the year after defeating Stefano Travaglia 2-0 and losing to Aslan Karatsev by the same score in Sydney.

Tommy Paul has his career-best ranking at No. 41 at the moment. The 22-year-old had a promising season last year finishing with a 34-27 record but only 13-16 on hard surface.

The American started 2022 well with a 5-2 record so far. He defeated Jiri Vesely and Taro Daniel in three sets in Adelaide before losing 6-4, 6-1 to Gael Monfils in the quarter-finals. He reached the same phase in Sydney where he lost 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 to Marin Cilic after winning over Frances Tiafoe and Benjamin Bonzi in the previous rounds.

Paul started the Australian Open with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over veteran Mikhail Kukushkin in 1 hour and 40 minutes. The American won 84% of the points on his first serve and 50% on Kukushkin’s.

Key facts

• These two players have played twice before with Kecmanovic winning both matches that took place in 2020
• Last year Kecmanovic lost to Adrian Mannarino in the second round of the Australian Open
• Paul also lost in the second round last year in Melbourne to Nikoloz Basilashvili
• Kecmanovic is 2-1 in 2022 while Paul is 5-2

These are the reasons why he comes into the match as a favorite but that all might go away as the match starts. Kecmanovic has defeated the American twice and that was pretty easy which gives him good chances tonight.  It will definitely be a tough battle and playing on Kecmanovic +5.5 games seems like a winning bet with good odds.
