Khachanov has been out of action for a month. The last time he took to the court in an official match was on June 18. We believe that it will be difficult for him to start showing his usual tennis right from the start. All the more so because his first-round opponent is Struff, whom he has lost to before. However, in my opinion, not very confident, but he will defeat Struff.
The last four personal matches between the tennis players have ended in three sets. We expect Khachanov and Struff to go beyond two sets in the upcoming match as well.
Struff won the Challenger in Braunschweig at the beginning of July․
In the decisive match, Jan-Lennard defeated Maximilian Marterer (6-2, 6-2). It is also worth mentioning that in the first round, he managed to beat Federico Delbonis (6-2, 7-6).
Strangely enough, in five matches, Struff did not give up a single set. That kind of stability is very rare for him.
There is another almost shocking fact. This season, Struff has only won one match at the ATP level.
Struff has won his last five home matches.
Khachanov, meanwhile, has not yet played since the tournament in Halle, where he reached the quarter-finals.
On clay, this season, Karen’s best performance was at Roland Garros. In Paris, he played three rounds before losing to Carlos Alcaraz (1-6, 4-6, 4-6). In the third round, Karen defeated Cameron Norrie (6-2, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4).
Khachanov won two more matches at the Masters in Rome.
In 2017, Khachanov reached the quarter-finals in Hamburg.
Khachanov has won his last five first-round matches.
In Khachanov’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set․We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.66.
