Laslo Djere vs Thanasi Kokkinakis – match predictions
Contents
As both players battle for a place in the Cincinnati Open main draw, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Laslo Djere to not go down in straight sets
We would like to point out that Laslo Djere has put up an impressive run of results these past few weeks. The Serbian player reached the semi-final of the Austrian Open last week, and the final of the Hamburg Open the week before that. As it stands, Djere has seven wins in his last nine matches, and is coming into this match with a ton of confidence. Interestingly, Laslo Djere has also held his own against today’s opponent, as he has two wins in as many encounters with Thanasi Kokkinakis. On that note, we are backing the Serb to win at least one set today.
Less than 24 total games
It’s important to point out that while these players met on two occasions, both meetings went below the 23.5 games mark. That said, Laslo Djere has been involved in a lot of two-setters lately; as six of his last seven matches ended in minimum sets. Bearing in mind that those six matches featured less than 24 games, we are taking the under option for today’s match.
Laslo Djere vs Thanasi Kokkinakis preview
Now that we’ve sorted out our Laslo Djere vs Thanasi Kokkinakis predictions, let’s see how these players have fared in recent weeks.
Laslo Djere
We’ve been impressed with Laslo Djere’s recent run of results, as he reached at least the semi-final of the last two competitions he participated in. The Serb will set his sights on a place in the Western and Southern Open, and will fancy his chances against Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Thanasi Kokkinakis
On the other hand, Thanasi Kokkinakis last played in the Canadian Open, where he crashed out in the second round at the hands of Lorenzo Musetti. The Australian player has a tricky fixture ahead of him; as he’s currently 0 for 2 against today’s opponent. It’ll be interesting to see if Kokkinakis can get his first victory over Laslo Djere today.
