It\u2019s difficult to foretell the winner of the all-Serb match at<br \/>\nthe Centre Court, having in mind that both of our players are in top form. That said, Kecmanovic breezed<br \/>\nthrough to the semi-finals with 2:0 (7:5,6:0).<br \/>\n&amp;quot;I believe I played rather well. I\u2019m very happy to have reached the semi-finals\u201d.<br \/>\nKecmanovic was especially convincing in the second set and \u2018shut down\u2019 the Centre Court quickly,<br \/>\nalthough he says that 6:0 doesn\u2019t mean so much.<br \/>\n&amp;quot;6:0 doesn\u2019t mean too much except that I finished the match earlier and struggled less\u201d.<br \/>\nHe then commented on the semi-finals.<br \/>\n\u201cI practiced with Duci on several occasions but we\u2019ve never played against each other. We\u2019ll certainly<br \/>\nhave an interesting match. He\u2019s more comfortable on clay than I am, although I play well on clay too now.<br \/>\nI surprise myself. Hopefully, I\u2019ll continue at the same pace\u201d.<br \/>\nAlmost all players agree that the surface at the Centre Court is slow and that it affects the game.<br \/>\n\u201cThe slowest surface I\u2019ve ever played on. It\u2019s really demanding. It requires a lot of effort. You cannot finish<br \/>\nthe point easily\u201d.<br \/>\nKecmanovic was having trouble with injury before but you couldn\u2019t tell anything on the tennis court.<br \/>\n&amp;quot;I took an X-ray. My leg is great. The doctor did a good job and it\u2019s not giving me any trouble on the court\u201d.<br \/>\nBefore he stepped on the court, Kecmanovic watched the duel between Djokovic and Lajovic.<br \/>\n\u201cThey both played well. It\u2019s always interesting to watch our players because something interesting<br \/>\nhappens. An excellent match although Nole probably wouldn\u2019t agree with me. Anyhow, I watched<br \/>\nbeautiful tennis\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miomir Kecmanovic rolled past into the semi-finals of the Srpska Open where he is scheduled to play against his countryman Dusan Lajovic tomorrow.
