Karen Khachanov has a strong baseline and he reflects his power on the grass through serve and forehand click. However, the season hasn’t been same for the Russian ace and he takes a tough task of beating Felix Auger-Aliassime, who overcame Khachanov in last two meetings. It will be their first meeting in three years and both players have improved their game. Auger-Aliassime is currently on a best run and won six matches in Germany since April. Fitness could be a reason for the Canadian ace as he took the medical timeout in last game.
Prediction: Khachanov in three sets.
The betting odds in this match are slightly in favor of Felix Auger-Aliassime, but even as the odds suggest, this match could go either way, especially since both of them have a great record in Halle. Here are the betting odds according to BetMGM:
