Oscar Otte vs Karen Khachanov Prediction: Karen to advance

It's the first time these two will face each other. Oscar Otte comes into this game seeking some stability as he has fallen to defeats after picking up a win. Khachanov also has not been in his best form of late as he has also suffered defeats after picking up wins on several occasions. But only one of them can emerge here and both players are well matched to battle till the end.

Oscar Otte has a good singles record. In his last 5 games, it's 4 wins and 1 loss. This should make up for the Roland Garros early exit against Carballes Baena. He was able to win his last two singles and he's here looking to make it third in a row. Last time out he shocked Basilashvili Nikoloz, winning (6-4,0-6,6-7). Hopefully he is inspired enough to repeat that in this match.

He's a huge favourite to win here according to the bookmakers, although it's hard to tell why. Karen has also won 4 out of his last 5 singles games. But he did make it to the last quarter final of the Roland Garros and lost to Carlos Alcaraz. With two straight wins in his last two singles against Aslan Karstsev and Laslo Djere, he will want to make it a third against a new opponent.

There is no head to head record between the two.

Karen Khachanov has more experience on the big stage than Oscar. So I expect him to win here.

Back Karen Khachanov to win for 1.65 odds on Bet365.
