Tue Apr 08 10:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Tiafoe Favored to Beat Kecmanovic in Monte-Carlo Masters Showdown
**Monte Carlo, Monaco** – American tennis star Frances Tiafoe is slated to face Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. While the exact start time remains to be announced, the match will be held at the Monte Carlo Country Club.
Tiafoe enters the match riding a wave of momentum after reaching the final of the Houston Open. However, his recent form has been inconsistent, with early exits at Indian Wells and Miami. Kecmanovic, while victorious at the Delray Beach Open in February, has also struggled for consistency since then, experiencing early exits at several recent tournaments.
Despite Kecmanovic’s win in Delray Beach, sports analysts favor Tiafoe, citing his 4-0 head-to-head record against Kecmanovic (all wins in straight sets). While Tiafoe’s Houston run may have impacted his energy levels, experts still predict a Tiafoe victory. Fans can watch the match live on Sky Sports Tennis (UK) and the Tennis Channel (US), or stream it via Sky Go (UK) and the Tennis Channel’s online platform (US).
