Daniel Altmaier is enduring a very poor start to the season, having failed to win a single set in seven consecutive matches, while Miomir Kecmanovic is gradually finding his form and has already recorded several notable victories this year.
Daniel Altmaier
In 2026 he has lost seven matches in a row in straight sets. At his last six tournaments he was eliminated in the opening round. Although six of his opponents were ranked inside the top 100, he lost by at least three games in every match and on four occasions left the court without winning a single game in a set (6:0). In recent matches he competed against Dušan Lajović (4:6, 6:7) and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (5:7, 3:6), but even there he failed in the key phases.
Miomir Kecmanovic
Kecmanovic is gradually returning to the level at which he has already won ATP titles. In February he put together a series of strong matches, including beating Alexander Zverev (6:3, 6:7, 7:6) in Acapulco and Tommy Paul (5:7, 6:4, 6:4) in Dallas. Against players of Altmaier’s current level he has been very solid: in recent matches he comfortably dealt with Terence Atmane (6:3, 6:3), Tristan Schoolkate (6:2, 6:2) and Mattia Bellucci (6:1, 6:4). The head-to-head statistics also favour him (2:1): he lost their most recent meeting to Altmaier, but still managed to take a set.
Daniel Altmaier vs Miomir Kecmanovic Prediction
He's not just losing; he looks lost on court and his mental state clearly prevents him from halting this run of defeats. By contrast, Kecmanovic has built momentum and is confidently beating opponents of this calibre.
