Michael Mmoh’s clash with Karen Khachanov in the RO16 of the Hong Kong Open is promising to be one of the most exciting of this stage. While the odds suggest a sweep for Khachanov, you must remember that Mmoh beat the Russian 3-0 in the US Open (their only career meeting). Let's get into this match prediction.
Unlike Khachanov, who'll be playing his first Hong Kong Open game in the RO16, Mmoh has already been quite busy from the qualifying rounds. The American has won all three games as the underdog, beating Cristian Garin and Patrick Kypson each 2-1 before Alejandro Talibo in his latest game.
Interestingly, this is Mmoh’s first appearance in the Hong Kong Open since the tournament’s revival in 2024. And the American hopes to mark the end of his career title drought with his first ATP Tour win. But as fate would have it, Mmoh is paired with the fourth-highest-ranked player in this stage.
Khachanov, who exited at this stage in the last tournament, will be looking to make progress as he eyes a revenge against Mmoh. Karen is also fresh off another RO16 exit in the Paris Masters. Khachanov did make it to the Toronto Open final in August, but lost out to Ben Shelton, and then lost eight of the following 13 singles.
