First round action in the opening tournament in Athens continues on Monday, when Stan wawrinka takes the court against BAV VAN de Zandschulp. Miomir Kecmanovic finds his week continuing to fight against Kamil Majchrzak.
(Wc) Stan Wawrinka vs. van actic van zandschulp
There were no plans to retire from the wawrinka camp, so the Hellic championship will not be the last ATP tournament of his career. However, it is the last event of what has been a difficult time for the 40-year-old Swiss. He is 3-12 on the main tour and has only experienced the Challenger grade, which is why he finds himself at No. 158 in the world.
Up first for Wawrinka on Monday is a second meeting with Van de Zandschulp, who lost their previous contest 6-3, 6-3 on the clay courts of the Challecleser of the 2020 Prague Challenger. Van de Zandschulp also fought in 2025, with a record of 16 – 20 at the ATP level and a position of 84. He failed to qualify for the paris masters last weekend. Van de Zandschulp has a history of great wins, but his history of losing is terrible. The 30-year-old Dutchman will never be trusted in the game as a heavy favourite, this one included.
Pick: Wawrinka in 3
Miomir Kecmanovic vs Kamil Majchrzak
KecManovic and Majchrzak will be in debt for the fifth time in their careers on Monday. The head-to-head series was 3-1 open for Kecmanovic (2-0 in the first round), but they have not faced each other in 2021. The 53-ranked Serb has reached the double in that time, both at the Australian Open and the Tokyo Olympics.
Although KecManovic remains the top man in 2025, it is majchrzak who is playing top tennis right now. The pole with a high level of 70 reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, won the Challenger title in Poland, advanced to the US open third round, won many matches in Winston-Salem and Shanghai, and qualified successfully in Basel. Kecmanovic, on the other hand, owns a shocking 2-7 in his last seven tournaments.
