Kecmanovic reached his first Masters 1000 quarter-final at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and made his maiden ATP Tour final in June at the grass-court Turkish Airlines Open Antalya (l. to Sonego). The Serbian, No. 58 in the ATP Rankings, is expected to crack the Top 50 on Monday when the new standings are released.
"It means a lot because I also broke into the Top 50 today. So it's a really special moment for me. I'm really happy that I was able to play the way I did. I worked a lot, I practised a lot. To see everything come together and happen, it's really special," Kecmanovic said. "I definitely just tried to go for everything. As I said, I had nothing to lose, really. He was the favourite, and it obviously helped me that he didn't serve as well as he does usually.
"I tried to stay calm. I tried to just use my chances and thankfully it paid off."
Kecmanovic bolstered his chances of qualifying for the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan as well. The teenager currently holds the seventh and final qualification spot in the ATP Race To Milan. Eight players will compete at the 21-and-under event, to be held 5-9 November in Milan, with the eighth position reserved for an Italian wild card.
