Thiago Monteiro vs Jason Kubler – Match Predictions
Contents
Monteiro looks to get back to winning ways after being knocked out at the first hurdle in Indian Wells. Kubler was more fortunate in his attempts, making it to the 1/16 finals where he could not get past Frances Tiafoe.
Jason Kubler To Win
Monteiro is a strong candidate on clay surfaces and tends to go missing on hard courts. The contrary stands true for Kubler. With the Brazilian giving a less-than-stellar display in this 1-2 defeat to 581-ranked Guido Pella, it is difficult to back him in this meeting. Couple this with a strong showing from Kubler, who lost out to semi-finalist Tiafoe, we are backing the 29-year-old Australian to progress to the next round.
2-1 to Jason Kubler
Kubler should win his first duel with Monteiro but it will not come without a hiccup. Monteiro has the uncanny ability to stretch his rivals and extending the match into the third set. This was the case in his last four outings, stretched across two defeats and two victories. With Kubler likely to showcase nerves is getting the job done cleanly, we should see three sets in this match. An Over 22.5 games selection should also come true given their respective pedigree.
Thiago Monteiro vs Jason Kubler Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players will fare in this tournament.
Thiago Monteiro
Monteiro will be ruing his 2-1 defeat to Guido Pella. The 581-ranked Argentine gave a good account of his abilities, taking home the honours after losing the first set 6-3. Monteiro will be seething will anger after being handed such a favourable draw. He has a tough assignment on his hands as Kubler will be confident in his abilities after an impressive run at the BNP Paribas Open.
Jason Kubler
The 29-year-old Australian impressed at the Indian Wells and will want more of the same fortunes to come his way at the Hard Rock Stadium. He overcame higher-ranked Lorenzo Sonego and was on course of making little work of an injured Grigor Dimitrov before the Bulgarian retired in the third set. Tiafoe did not afford him the same opportunity, breaking his serve thrice on his journey to the semi-finals.
