Miomir Kecmanovic vs Karen Khachanov prediction

Miomir Kecmanovic comes into this event with momentum, having won a Challenger Tour title in Valencia last week. The Serb dropped just one set across his five matches, and that will be a boost for the player after some poor results in the clay court Masters 1000 events over the last month.

He takes on Karen Khachanov. The Russian also performed well last time out, as he advanced to his first Masters quarter-final since reaching the final of the Canadian Open back in August. Khachanov won three matches in a row and took Casper Ruud to a deciding set in their rain-interrupted last eight encounter, but he would go on to lose. He is a two-time quarter-finalist at this tournament.

Khachanov will start as the favourite, but Kecmanovic has played himself into form at just the right time, with Roland Garros only a week away. This should be a very competitive first-round match in Hamburg.
