The tournament in s-Hertogenbosch is Vukic's second grass court event of the season. The Australian previously played two matches in Surbiton, where he beat Shapovalov in straight sets but lost to Harris in consecutive games. In Hertogenbosch, Vukic beat his compatriot Purcell in sets. The scores were 6:3 and 7:6 in favor of Vukic; the match lasted one and a half hours. Vukic had 11 aces with zero double faults and won 83% of the points on his first serve and 50% on his second. Return statistics: 26%/48%, winners/unforced errors stats 25/4.

Karen played four dirt tournaments in 2024, three Masters in Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome, and two matches at Roland Garros. In Paris, Khachanov had a convincing three-set win over India's Nagal and lost in the second round to Slovakia's Kovalik in five games. In general, the performance at the majors has been disappointing, and we are not surprised that Karen has decided to play on grass during the first week of this season. Karen has not won a single grasscourt tournament in his career. Moreover, the Russian did not play on grass in 2023. In 2022, he played 6 matches: 4 wins and two losses.

Vuckic has already played three matches on grass, while Khachanov will not play on the green until 2022. This fact favors the Australian. However, the statistics are in Khachanov's favor, as he beat the Australian in their only meeting and Vukic in Melbourne, in his opponent's home country. We think Khachanov will win again, and we expect the Australian to give the Russian a fight.
