ATP Eastbourne – Vukic vs Duckworth Preview
🧠 Form & Context
Aleksandar Vukic
🚀 Back in Eastbourne via qualifiers—just like last year when he surged to the semifinals.
📉 A bumpy 2025 (12–20), but he’s shown grass form with a 4–3 record and a five-set upset of Sebastian Korda in Melbourne.
🔁 Leads the head-to-head 2–1, taking the last two (Miami '23 qualies & Almaty '24).
💥 Relies on a big serve and flat forehand—well-suited for Eastbourne’s slick conditions.
James Duckworth
🔄 Battling back from injuries, Duckworth’s 20–17 year includes a Challenger title in San Luis Potosí.
🌱 Matches Vukic’s 4–3 grass record this year and came through qualifying here with tight wins.
🛠️ Brings all the Aussie grass-court trademarks: low slice serves, net skills, and a solid transition game.
⏳ Ranked just outside the top 100 but still highly effective in quick, best-of-three formats.
