On paper and according to the betting odds, Karen Khachanov looks to have already beaten Jan-Lennard Struff in their RO16 clash in the Almaty Open. However, the game’s much tighter according to our analysis, and it has all the ingredients to go the distance. See our sharp pick below in this Karen Khachanov vs Jan-Lennard Struff match prediction.

Karen Khachanov and Jan-Lennard Struff are no strangers to each other, and in fact, they've met six times in the past. But what's interesting is that five of their only six meetings have ended in three sets, and that's exactly what we're betting on in this game. Khachanov, who’s the favourite, did indeed win four of their last five meetings, but Struff managed to win a set in all five games straight.

Struff won this bet once again in his latest outing, which was his 2-1 RO32 victory over Mackenzie McDonald. Notably, Struff has won this bet in three of his last four singles and has won a set in 13 of his last 15 three-set singles. Khachanov, meanwhile, has seen three of his last seven three-set singles ending going the distance.

Karen Khachanov failed to win this bet in his last outing, which was his 2-0 loss to Juncheng Shang in the RO64 in Shanghai. However, he has now conceded a set in five straight singles, showing vulnerability that Struff is poised to pounce on again.
