Third seed Karen Khachanov has wild card Beibit Zhukayev between him and a place in the Almaty Open semi-finals. Can Zhukayev cause an upset? Here's our prediction of this indoor hard court match.
Khachanov is the world number 26 but up a couple of places in the live rankings. He can't rise any higher this week even if winning this ATP 250 tournament. This is his second quarter-final in a month after also getting to this stage in Beijing.
Earlier this year, the Russian won the Doha hard court tournament and also made it to the last four in Marseille. In this tournament, he's had one match so far and unseeded Otto Virtanen was beaten in straight sets, though both went to a tie-break.
Beibit Zhukayev was ranked 213th in the latest list and has a career-high of 171st. This tournament is being played in his native Kazakhstan so he was given a wild card into the main draw and has made the most of it.
Round one saw him beat qualifier Benjamin Hassain in straight sets, losing only five games. That took him into a match against the fifth seed Tomas Machac. Zhukayev was 3-1 up in the first set when his opponent retired.
The 24-year-old is up to 180th in the live rankings. This is his second ATP Tour quarter-final having also reached one in China last year. Against Khachanov he's had one previous meeting. losing to him in three sets in Shanghai last year.
We tip Khachanov to win this in straight sets.
