KAREN KHACHANOV VS JOZEF KOVALIK PREDICTION
World number 18 Karen Khachanov enjoyed a comfortable straight-sets opener over Sumit Nagal on Monday and the Russian will be confident of rolling through to the third. The 28-year-old is usually a good litmus test for a Grand Slam draw, capable of giving the very top players a real challenge on any surface with his tireless engine and fierce hitting, and it took eventual champion Novak Djokovic to stop him in the round of 16 here last season.
World number 145 Jozef Kovalik overcame Marcos Giron in four sets to make the most of his second chance as a lucky loser form qualifying but this should be far too steep a climb. Back Khachanov to win in straight sets, with this only Kovalik’s second match tour-level match of the year.
KAREN KHACHANOV VS JOZEF KOVALIK TIP: KAREN KHACHANOV TO WIN 3-0
