Karen Khachanov vs Learner Tien prediction

Learner Tien meets Karen Khachanov for the first time with a spot in the US Open quarter-final on the line.

The American has reached the last eight at the Australian Open but is now in new territory at his home Major and it is sure to be a big test against the Russian, who has previously made the last four in New York.

The 14th seed Tien has been impressed so far this year, handling an emotional match against Gael Monfils with maturity before hitting back to see of Jakub Mensik in five.

World number 50 Khachanov is a hardcourt threat that belies his current ranking and aside from the four-set upset of third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, he has eased through his other matches in straight sets. 

This is very much a match with plenty of games likely and we’d be very surprised if it gets done in three.

Karen Khachanov vs Learner Tien tip: Over 3.5 sets
