THE PREDICTION
World number 28 Karen Khachanov overcame in-form Francisco Cerundolo in three tight sets at the Canada Masters before a straight-set defeat to Marin Cilic. The 26-year-old won the most recent of his four ATP titles at Masters level with win in Paris back in 2018 but he has since fallen away from a career-high world number eight as his compatriots move in the opposite direction. World number 53 Sebastian Korda is an intriguing player on tour right now with a similar story. The 22-year-old enjoyed a huge breakthrough season last year and he set a career-high of 30th back in May before losing points from his maiden ATP title won at the Emilia-Romagna Open last summer. The American should be targeting the top 20 by the end of the season as Taylor Fritz’ biggest challenger for US number one but he has struggled to out together consistent performances all season long. Khachanov and Korda shared a five-set epic at Wimbledon last season that eventually edged the Russian’s way and backing Khachanov to earn at least a set here looks the shrewd move in leaving a winner up to chance.
