Roberto Bautista Agut v Karen Khachanov Head to Head

Bautista Agut Mesmeric Yet Again
If we thought andy Murray’s humiliating defeat to Bautista Agut on Wednesday was due to the Briton’s lack of mobility, we were totally wrong. For the second match running the Spaniard proved he was simply playing tennis from a different level.
The 33-year-old delivered another masterclass against compatriot Davidovich Fokina to reach the last four, dropping a measly two games in the match. He did not face a single break point while at the same time broke through Davidovich Fokina five times.
Bautista Agut’s weight of shot and timing was top class. He did not even need to shift through the gears, as he conserved plenty of energy for much tougher tests, starting with his semifinal match against the big-hitting Karen Khachanov.
The World No. 16 has a terrific record on Qatari soil. He won the title in 2019, taking out a litany of top-tier opponents including World No. 1 Novak Djokovic. Last year, he fell in the final to an inspired Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Khachanov Thwarts Cilic
In a match reminiscent to their Adelaide showdown, Karen Khachanov got the better of Marin Cilic to reach his second semifinal of 2022.
Khachanov began the match playing second fiddle to the big-hitting Croat who won the first set 6-3, saving all three break points he faced.
But the Russian managed to overcome that worrying start and found his range in the second set. After holding in his first service game in the second set, Khachanov suffocated the court with monstrous ground strokes. Cilic’s level dipped slightly and paid a hefty price.
The sixth-seeded Khachanov got the break he craved in the middle of the set and put down the shutters. Cilic, for all the good work he did in most of the match, was undone by some poor decision-making as he dropped serve in the ninth game of the third set.
Bautista Agut v Khachanov Prediction and Tip
It is clear that whoever wants to walk away with the golden falcon trophy will need to walk through Bautista Agut. The Spaniard is unplayable in his current form and Khachanov might fall short in his quest to reach his second final of 2022.
Tip: Bautista Agut to win: 4/9 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
