Karen Khachanov vs Emilio Nava prediction
Karen Khachanov made a winning start in Toronto as he defeated Juan Pablo Ficovich 6-4 6-2. Khachanov won 88% of his first serve points but still displayed some signs of rust having not playing competitively for three weeks, saving seven break point opportunities out of eight.
He will now go up against Emilio Nava in the third-round. Nava was due to face Ugo Humbert in his second-round match, but the Frenchman withdrew due to injury barely an hour before the match was due to begin. Nevertheless, Nava was dominant against lucky loser Terence Atmane, winning 90% of his points on first serve and conceding just one break point as he won 6-2 7-5.
Nava has made some strides during this North American swing, including a quarter-final finish in Los Cabos two weeks ago. However, Khachanov now has a match under his belt after some time away and is ranked 98 places above his opponent. It’s difficult to look past a straight sets win for Khachanov.
