Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.70.
Khachanov did not surprise in the first two matches. Karen won in class. His opponents were not the strongest ones. However, it will be a different game against Otte. Oscar is unlikely to leave the tournament in the quarter-finals.
The tennis players’ previous matches in this tournament have been tightly contested. Given the style of play of the opponents, we think the trend will continue.
Otte reached the quarter-finals on the grass for the second tournament in a row. Last week in Stuttgart, Otte was defeated by Matteo Berrettini (6-7, 6-7) in the semifinals.
In Halle, Oscar started with a victory over Miomir Kecmanovic (7-6, 6-4). Here he was slightly better on his opponent’s first serve and took noticeably more points on the second serve. Otte was more efficient on the receiving end as well.
In the second round, Otte had a tense match against Nikoloz Basilashvili (4-6, 6-0, 7-6). Otte lost the first set. Then, he played the second set incredibly well not giving up a single game to Nikoloz. In the third set, everything was decided in the tie-break.
If Oscar continues in the same vein, the day when he will approach at least the top 30 is not far off.
Otte has five wins in his last six matches against higher-ranked opponents.
Karen defeated Laslo Dere (7-6, 6-4) in the second round, who is not considered the most dangerous opponent on grass. However, in this case, Laslo could have beaten Karen.
The first set was very difficult. Karen was losing 2-5 with two break points. He didn’t know how but managed to win the match. He had a good tie-break and that gave him confidence for the second set.
Last week, Khachanov had a similar scenario in the match against Kamil Majchrzak (5-7, 7-5, 7-6).
Khachanov, like Otte, also reached the quarter-finals at the second tournament in a row.
Khachanov has won six of his last ten quarter-final matches.
In 4 of Khachanov’s last 5 matches, a tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 1.56.
