Laslo Djere vs Karen Khachanov Prediction: Waiting For Another Win for Karen

Bookmakers consider Khachanov a big favorite for the upcoming game, which we agree with, given the playing practice and the statistics of personal meetings. Karen performs well on grass, and we doubt that Djere will be as good on grass as on clay.

Djere has been quite active on the grass this season. The Serb played the Masters in Monte Carlo and Rome, the Belgrade tournament and the Paris Majors. The results on the clay were quite weak, only the second round at Roland Garros, though the Serb lost to the former number two, Daniil Medvedev, in three sets. The Balkan did not play a complete set against Squire, but he has already got a victory over the German player. In seven games Djere served twice, won 80% of the points on the first serve and 67% on the second. On the receiving end the Serb had 9% of points won on the first Squire's serve and 56% on the second.

Karen Khachanov has played four full matches on grass. And he performs quite cool. In Hertogenbosch Khachanov beat Thabilo and Majchrzak, but lost in two sets to Auger-Aliassime. Khachanov defeated Aslan Karatsev in Halle. Interestingly enough, Aslan won the first set on a tiebreak, but Karatsev took only three games in two sets, losing 1-6, 2-6. Khachanov made eight aces and two doubles errors, winning 83% of his first-serve points and 77% of his second. On the receiving end Karen had 25% and 58% on the first and second serve, respectively.

Khacanov has excellent grass practice, unlike Laslo Djere. We believe that Karen will get a convincing victory over his opponent on Thursday, about the same as in April 2021 on the ground of Monte Carlo. By the way, Djere plays well on clay rather than grass, which is important. We bet on a confident victory of Khachanov over Laslo.
