Round 32 of the ATP 250 Hangzhou on hardcourt provides a chance for Aleksandar Kovacevic to even the scores when he faces Luca Nardi. Despite Nardi winning their only H2H, the books are favouring Kovacevic to come out on top. See what we think is most likely to happen in our Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Luca Nardi match prediction.

We’re staying away from the straight win bet in this crucial knockout game and backing the two-set bet instead. Their only H2H, on red clay in April, ended with a 2-0 win for Luca Nardi. In that game, Nardi took early momentum and never let go when he won sets 1 and 2 by 6-2 and 6-3, respectively. With that kind of showing, it wouldn’t be out of place to see Nardi taking a win here, too.

But we’re sticking with two-sets, which is a pattern that’s been prominent in both players' recent games. 11 of Nardi’s last 13 singles finished in straight sets, with one being a ‘retired’ victory after leading Jakub Mensik 6-2 in the first set. Likewise, all five of Kovacevic’s last singles have ended in straight sets, and also in 15 of his last 21.

Both players are fresh off a Grand Slam loss, but what’s more interesting is that the scorelines were 3-0 for each player, with Kovacevic falling to Coleman Wong and Nardi to Tomas Machac.
