Karen Khachanov vs Sebastian Ofner prediction
Karen Khachanov was always in control of his first-round match as he defeated Aleksander Vukic 6-4 6-4 6-4. It was a strong serving performance from the Russian who slammed down nine aces and won 78% of points on his first serve.
He takes on Sebastian Ofner who continued his resurgence with a straight sets win over Jan-Lennard Struff. The Austrian reached the semi-finals of the Geneva Open last week and got his Roland Garros campaign off to a winning start with a 7-6 6-3 6-7 6-2 victory. He had the opportunity to seal it in straight sets but missed a routine backhand on match point in set three. However, he refocused at the start of the fourth to race ahead.
They played their first match against each other just last week with Ofner coming from a set down to beat the Russian in the last eight in Geneva. The Austrian is on an upwards trajectory after being out with an injury for so long and has the game to cause problems for Khachanov. However, we still expect the two-time French Open quarter-finalist to squeeze through in another tight battle.
