Return statistics: 39%/56%, winners/unforced errors and losses 34/16.

After an unsuccessful Wimbledon, Karen was also unsuccessful at the Washington tournament. The Russian lost his first match to Korea's Hong, ranked 175th in the world, in straight sets, 2:6, 4:6. The game lasted one hour and 12 minutes, with Karen hitting 8 aces and two double faults, winning 69% of points on his first serve and 33% on his second. Receiving statistics: 22%/24%, wins 16/14. In Montreal, Karen has already beaten the Canadian Diallo. The match against Gabriel lasted one hour and 29 minutes, and Khachanov won 6:4, 6:4. During the game, Karen had three aces and two double faults, winning 79% of the points on his first serve and 64% on his second. Return statistics: 33%/53% winners/unforced errors 11/12.

Karen started the tournament in Montreal very confidently, and there is a feeling that the Russian is only going to get better. Matteo struggled to get past the first round and was knocked out by MacDonald. In this pairing, we should bet on the favorite, as Khachanov will be confident of victory in the upcoming match, and a third set will not be necessary.
