Kecback?
The Serbian showed a good face in Monte-Carlo and his victory against Berrettini gave him confidence, he says it!
Yes he took advantage of the heavy ground and the fatigue of his opponent but a victory remains a victory especially given the bad period Kecmanovic is going through. Behind him he lost to Dimitrov by having a good match, what to regain confidence and use it for this tournament? In any case it's an affordable R1 because Goffin is struggling to find his best level too. The Belgian has quite a few victories this season but none stands out, we cannot say that he is in great shape despite his best record. What we now need to know is what will happen on the ground. Kecmanovic has powerful shots, he hurts with 2/3 racket shots and counters well, on his line he is a good player. Goffin is more subtle, he handles angles better and achieves his goals intelligently but sometimes lacks power. We should see Kecmanovic more often on the attack, aggressive behind the Belgian's second ball in particular. He doesn't like big earthlings who add volume and defend steel, that's not really Goffin's profile so we can say that he should get by, right?
