13th seed Karen Khachanov has a tricky Italian Open third round match against unseeded Botic van de Zandschulp. The two players haven't met for three years and a close match looks likely with our prediction being a win for Khachanov.
A win for Khachanov will take him into round four of this outdoor clay court tournament for the third successive year.
This year has a 2-3 record on clay this year. On all surfaces in 2026, he has only made it to one quarter-final. This is his third match against van de Zandschulp. They are level at 1-1 and this is their first match on this surface.
Khachanov is 15th in the live rankings, 37 places above his Dutch opponent.
Botic van de Zandschulp is in the third round of the Italian Open for the first time. He beat Alexandre Muller in straight sets in round one but had a much tougher match next. He lost the opening set to Aleksandar Kovacevic but recovered well to progress.
This year has seen him reach the semi-finals of the ATP Tour clay court event played in Bucharest. He's won six of his eight matches on this surface in 2026. A side bet on this going to three sets could well be successful but we feel Khachanov will win the match.
