Roman Andres Burruchaga vs Karen Khachanov prediction

Former semi-finalist Karen Khachanov kicks off his latest US Open campaign with a second meeting against rising star Roman Andres Burruchaga.

The Russian leads the head-to-head 1-0 having prevailed in three sets on the clay of Rome last year, but currently needs a reset after losing his last four matches to drop to 49 in the world.

As a result, Argentine Burruchaga is just ten places below Khachanov in the rankings, but he has also lost his last four despite what has been an excellent, break-out season so far.

The South American is clearly happier on clay, so this represents a great opportunity for Karen, but it’s unlikely to be straight-forward and you can expect plenty of games.
