The world No. 57 has played 34 matches at the top tier this season, making him well suited to succeed. Whilst the field here is strong, Kubot has been in reasonable form all year, and he should be feeling confident about his chances.
First up for the Pole will be Lukas Lacko of Slovakia. Lacko will want to give the home fans something to cheer about, and an opening round upset would go down very well with the crowd. As a former world No. 60, Lacko is a capable competitor. His chances on Tuesday shouldn’t be dismissed.
Kubot and Lacko haven’t met since 2007. Following three matches, Lacko leads the head to head between the pairing 2-1. Playing in Slovakia, he might even have the edge against Kubot again. Regardless of who prevails this contest promises to be a thriller.
