Karen Khachanov vs Denis Shapovalov: Prediction and Betting Tips

Karen Khachanov hopes to be fit after a tiring fourth-round match

After three easy matches in the first three rounds dropping just one set Karen Khachanov had to dig deep in the fourth round against Sebastian Korda. The Russian lost the first set after some unstable serving where he won just 22% of the points on his second serve. Khachanov bounced back and won the second and third set after increasing his first and second serve percentages.

Korda leveled the score at 2-2 after winning the fourth set. In the decider, both players’ nerves played a big part as they struggled with their service which saw a dramatic decrease in winning the points. There were 13 service breaks in total in the fifth set with Khachanov edging the breaks to his favor 7-6 as he concluded the set to his favor 10-8.

Denis Shapovalov entering the quarters after dominant the last two matches 

Shapovalov has played three matches to reach the quarter-final of Wimbledon this year after his second-round opponent Andujar-Alba withdrew. The Canadian had a tough opening match beating veteran German Philip Kohlschreiber in five sets. It was easier for Shapovalov in his next two matches despite playing home favorite Andy Murray in the third round.

The world number 12 won in straight sets, completely dominating the match as his serve was broken just once, and shot 45 winners. In the fourth round, Shapovalov had no trouble overcoming clay-court specialist and eighth seed Bautista-Agut beating the Spaniard in straight sets after yet another match in which he shot a high number of winners, 54 to be exact.

Karen Khachanov vs Denis Shapovalov Prediction

Denis Shapovalov is the better-ranked player between the two and there’s no surprise that he is the favorite to win with the bookies with 1.38 at Vbet. Khachanov though showed great willpower to win in his last match.

We think it will be a close match as both Khachnov and Shapovalov are fighters and think it is a great opportunity for them to reach their first-ever Grand Slam semi-final. 

Shapovalov is playing great tennis but hasn’t been tested yet which we think will happen against Khachanov. An interesting betting market is the total breaks. We think it will be a long match and both players might lose their services many times.
