Roland Garros
In the previous stage of Roland Garros, the Russian defeated Constant Lestienne, while the Moldovan triumphed over Patrick Kypson.
Karen Khachanov
Khachanov was unpleasantly surprised by his performance in the opening match, although there’s nothing particularly surprising about it, as he was up against a local court specialist. Constant Lestienne put up a serious fight against the Russian, pushing him to play a full five sets. Moreover, Karen was trailing 0-2 in sets but managed to turn the match around. Khachanov has something to lose. In 2022, he reached the round of 16 here. If the Russian fails to replicate that result, he will lose ground in the world rankings.
Radu Albot
Albot is close to returning to the top 100 rankings. A series of successful performances in clay court challengers has allowed the Moldovan representative to rise to 113th place in the ATP rankings. Luck has also been on Radu’s side at Roland Garros. In the qualifiers, he confidently defeated Kopriva, Peniston, and Hugo Carabelli. In the main draw, Radu overcame the 329th-ranked player, Patrick Kypson, in four sets.
Prediction
Khachanov should theoretically defeat Albot, but Karen is not performing convincingly enough. If we look at his matches in this tournament last season, all of his victories came in four sets. In the clash against Lestienne, the Russian once again delivered a thriller. Therefore, we have doubts that the match against Albot will be one-sided. Our prediction is a total of over 30.5 games at odds of 1.75 at 1xBet. Considering Khachanov's inconsistency, it might be worth giving the advantage to Albot. If the Russian plays like he did against Lestienne, the Moldovan representative will have a good chance of offering resistance to the favorite. Prediction: Albot with a handicap of (+6.5) games. This bet can be placed at odds of 1.85. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.75. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
