THE PREDICTION
Fourth-seed Karen Khachanov should enjoy a good run at the St. Petersburg Open with this relatively straightforward opening fixture. The Russian number three is still just the world number 16, such is Russia’s strength in depth right now, and he enjoyed an impressive French Open campaign before meeting Novak Djokovic in the round of 16. Australia’s James Duckworth had no such luck at Roland-Garros and although he should enjoy a hard court more, so will his opponent. This should be a no-fuss, straight-sets victory for Khachanov.
