American all-rounder McKenzie McDonald is going around $2.60 areas to bounce back from his diabolical first-up loss to Sebastian Ofner at Hong Kong, a quota I’m interested in.
Miomir Kecmanovic is waiting for McDonald on the other side of the net as Adelaide is the host city for this ATP 250 tournament.
So much of this price – and a lot of pricing – at this time of the year is based on ‘what have you done for me lately’, rather than what’s happened over a bigger sample size.
McDonald accrued 10 more wins than Kecmanovic on the hard courts in 2023, and his hold-break percentage combined was 5 percentage points higher.
It is true Kecmanovic finished the year stronger, and perhaps has the higher ceiling than the one rather one dimensional American, but McDonald goes about his work nicely.
He possesses great court coverage, defence, and enjoys the quick surfaces.
He’s had a little more time on his side to prepare for this South Australian tournament and most likely got the jump on Kecmanovic out of Hong Kong.
Up to my eyebrows in Australian Open work, so that’s all I’ve got for you.
