THE PREDICTION

This should be another entertaining baseline battle in a well-trodden fixture between former number eight Karen Khachanov and former number nine Roberto Bautista Agut. 36-year-old RBA leads their storied head-to-head 6-4 as things stand but Khachanov has won each of their last two meetings and all three of their matches on clay, including in three sets here last season, to look the solid favourite. The 27-year-old pulled out of the Barcelona Open last week, avoiding another meeting with Bautista Agut, but a run to the quarter-finals of the Monte-Carlo Masters the week before saw excellent clay results over Cam Norrie, Francisco Cerundolo and Daniil Medvedev. Bautista Agut will enjoy partisan support as a well-loved veteran on home clay but back Khachanov to reach the third round.

TIP: KAREN KHACHANOV TO WIN
