Marin Cilic v Karen Khachanov Head to Head

There have been four previous meetings between these two players and both have won two apiece. All four matches came on hard court surfaces including one indoors.

Two of these matches were played earlier this year with Khachanov winning both, at Adelaide and Doha.

Khachanov Struggles for Opening Win

Francisco Cerundolo has come of age in recent times but in a hard court tournament, you would still give Khachanov the edge to overcome his Argentine opponent.

And that’s exactly how the first round match between the two of them panned out, except that Khachanov was stretched to his limits before he managed to come through and seal his place in the second.

Khachanov overcame Cerundolo 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-3 in a match lasting two hours and 46 minutes and in one where neither player gave the other an inch.

The first set went to serve before Khachanov edged past his opponent in the ensuing tie-breaker, while in the second it was Cerundolo who held the edge by breaking the Russian thrice even as he himself lost his serve on two occasions.

The third of these breaks came in the 11th game of the set, which allowed him to serve out the set and level the match.

In the third, Khachanov raced off to a 4-1 lead and then lost just one more point on his own serve to complete the victory.

Can he try and make things easier come the second round?

Cilic Guns Past Coric

In an all-Croat battle, Cilic had no trouble getting better of Borna Coric in his first round encounter that set him up in the second against Khachanov.

Cilic was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Coric, with the match lasting a mere hour and 23 minutes. The world number 16 improved to 10-7 in hard court competitions with this victory.

He took some time to get going but once Cilic had broken Coric in the fourth game of the opening set, there wasn’t much looking back. Coric did break back in the seventh but his serve was taken down in the very next game again.

Cilic then served out to love and raced through the second set with two breaks of serves, losing just three points on his own serve in the set.

The big question is if Cilic can now get past Khachanov as well.

Cilic v Khachanov Prediction and Tip

This could be a close battle with Khachanov holding a slight edge and we expect him to come through in three sets in this one.

Tip: Khachanov to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
