Karen Khachanov vs Billy Harris prediction
Karen Khachanov progressed to the semi-finals of the Halle Open last year, but he was unable to produce a deep run this time around as he lost his opening round match to Ethan Quinn, despite taking the first set with ease. Khachanov has been unable to register consistent results this season, other than a run to the quarter-finals of the Italian Open. He impressed at SW19 last year, making his second quarter-final appearance.
Billy Harris is his first-round opponent after the Brit qualified for his home slam. This will be his third main draw appearance at the Championships. Harris did win his round one match last year against Dusan Lajovic, before losing to Nuno Borges. His ranking is 140 in the world.
Harris does have a bit of momentum on his side after those qualifying victories, but Khachanov’s game is likely to be too strong over a best of five set match.
Karen Khachanov vs Billy Harris tip: Under 40.5 games
