Our Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Karen Khachanov Prediction
Key Stats: Both players are in a dark place right now performance-wise, but Khachanov has no reason to lose this match regardless of his form.
Khachanov has 10 wins in 23 matches against top-100 players in 2026 and owns a 59 percent win rate on the hard court.
Kovacevic is a threat, especially if his serve are clicking. However, he is only 9-12 in first-round matches this year.
What to Expect: Khachanov should be good enough to register his first win of the North American hard-court season. Kovacevic’s serve will always pose problems, but as he did in their first meeting at the Australian Open, Khachanov will neutralize his offense.
Fearless Forecast: Karen Khachanov wins 6-4, 6-3
Our betting prediction for Karen Khachanov vs. Aleksandar Kovacevic: Karen Khachanov -3.5 games
