Looking ahead to the upcoming match, de Minaur aims to advance to the third round of the Paris tournament for the fifth time in the last six appearances. He currently holds the 9th position on the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin and has the opportunity to climb to the 8th spot if he reaches the quarterfinals. If successful, he will become the first Australian player to compete in the Nitto ATP Finals since Hewitt in 2004.
On the other side, Miomir Kecmanovic, aged 25 and currently ranked No. 55 in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 27 in January 2023. He broke into the top 40 following his victory in the 2020 Kitzbuhel tournament, where he won his first ATP Tour title. Kecmanovic had his personal-best win record of 38 victories in 2022, reaching the fourth round at the Australian Open, and the third round at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Kecmanovic’s notable achievements include reaching the quarterfinals at ATP Masters 1000 events in 2019 Indian Wells (as a lucky loser) and in 2022 Indian Wells and Miami. In the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals, he reached the semifinals, defeating Ruud and Davidovich Fokina before losing to eventual champion Sinner. He also had success as a junior player, winning the 2015 Orange Bowl junior title by defeating Tsitsipas in a third-set tiebreak. He finished 2016 as the world’s top-ranked junior player ahead of Tsitsipas.
Kecmanovic has faced difficulty against top-10 players, boasting a 5-23 record against them. However, in 2024, he has only managed to secure one victory against a top-10 player, defeating No. 7 Ruud in the ATP Masters 1000 Rome second round in May. In the Paris tournament, Kecmanovic aims to reach the round of 16 of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time since 2022 Miami. He also hopes to join the select group of lucky losers who have reached the third round in Paris, following in the footsteps of players like Dominik Koepfer, Alexei Popyrin, Malek Jaziri, Teymuraz Gabashvili, and Gianluca Pozzi.
It will be an intriguing match between two talented players with different strengths and goals.
