ATP Bucharest Day 2 Predictions Including David Goffin vs Miomir Kecmanovic

Corentin Moutet vs Denis Shapovalov

Head-to-head: Moutet 1-0

Denis Shapovalov is getting back to form, but we’ll see if his clay-court swing will be the best moment for him to show that. Players like Corentin Moutet are often pretty tough for him, unless he simply overwhelms them with his weaponry. Otherwise they avoid giving him any baseline rhythm and just watch the errors flow. It’s a big test for Shapovalov’s patience and point construction, which have never been some of his biggest assets.
Prediction: Moutet in 3

Radu Albot vs Aleksandar Kovacevic

Head-to-head: First meeting

Aleksandar Kovacevic is yet to win a red clay match in his career (not counting Houston, which is colored red but still the synthetic har-tru court). Radu Albot might not be known for his prowess on this surface either, but making the final in Girona recently has granted him a ton of momentum. The Moldovan also qualified here and while he hasn’t faced any very strong opposition, his chances to grind down Kovacevic on European clay still seem pretty high.
Prediction: Albot in 3

David Goffin vs Miomir Kecmanovic

Head-to-head: Goffin 1-0

David Goffin has likely done enough to make the main draw at Roland Garros, but it’s not like the Belgian is close to getting his peak form back. His early timing can still be extremely dangerous on occasion and it’s important not to underestimate how strong his peak level still is. But these days he just has too many error-filled performances that likely won’t cut it against someone as solid as Miomir Kecmanovic.
Prediction: Kecmanovic in 2
