THE PREDICTION
World number 15 Karen Khachanov has struggled with fitness issues all season long but he has performed very well when able to take to court, particularly at Grand Slams. The 27-year-old has played, and lost, just one match since June but he has still managed to build a 23-12 record for 2023 into the Zhuhai Championships to make for a very intriguing top seed. Semi-final exits to Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Australian Open in January and to Daniil Medvedev at the Miami Open in March are proof of his ability in these conditions when on song but it remains to be seen how much level he has retained. World number 323 Alex Bolt qualified well this week and he was in control of his opener against Diego Schwartzman before the out of sorts Argentine was forced to retire injured but this looks too steep a challenge. Back Khachanov to win in straight sets for a statement on his return to tour.
