This is match from the first round of the Buenos Aires
Challenger. Popko played awfully a lot of tennis this year on clay and has
56-27 record on the surface. He has good serve and forehand and likes the clay
most. In the H2H the result is 1-0 for Kicker. The Argentinean is far away from
his best, but he is former No78 in the world and he also is a former winner on
this event back in 2017. Kicker has little match practice with 8-7 record this
season, but he won two matches in the qualifications and has good match
practice. Popko has the better year, but he lost six matches in a row and I doubted
that he will play in good mood. I think Kicker will start on a flyer and will
take the opening set.
