Aleksandar Vukic vs Karen Khachanov Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Almaty Open
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Karen Khachanov bids to reach his second ATP Tour final of the year. The third seed faces unseeded Aleksandar Vukic in the semi-finals of this indoor hard court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
Khachanov is the highest seed remaining in this tournament. The winner of this semi-final will face either fourth seed Francisco Cerundolo or unseeded Gabriel Diallo in Sunday's final. Khachanov has won one title this year with success in Doha.
He recently reached the quarter-final of the China Open and has continued his good form in Almaty. Wins have come against Otto Virtanen (winning both sets by a tie-break) and then wild card Beibit Zhukayev.
Aleksandar Vukic is up 13 places to 72nd in the live rankings. He's had a great run to get to this semi-final with two seeds being beaten. After a first round win over unseeded James Duckworth, he's defeated eighth seed (and 2023 Almaty Open winner) Adrian Mannarino and on Friday, top seeded Frances Tiafoe.
This is his first ATP Tour semi-final of the year, though he has reached one on the Challenger Tour. He's 1-1 in previous matches against Khachanov but the one he lost was their only match played on a hard court.
Two previous matches have seen three tie-breaks played so a side bet on one here might be a winner. Overall though, we tip Khachanov to win.
