Christopher O'Connell vs Pavel Kotov Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Qatar Open
by Daniel Ngulu | in Tennis Predictions
Christopher O’Connell, the second seed in the qualifiers of this year’s Qatar Open will face off with seventh seed Pavel Kotov. The winner of this second-round qualifier will punch a ticket for the main draw. Below is our prediction for this match.
O’Connell has won twice in three previous meetings with Kotov. One of his wins was achieved in the qualifying rounds in Doha three years ago. The Australian has registered both of his victories over Kotov on hardcourts without losing a set.
His most recent success came last September in Chengdu. A former Doha quarter-finalist, O’Connell saw off Yosuke Watanuki in three sets in the first round. He has won twice in five outings this year and is currently placed 80th in the live ranking.
Pavel Kotov has been eliminated twice in the qualifying rounds in Doha. Last year, however, he secured his best result in the tournament after making it to the second round.
He will hope to surpass that finish in what is his fourth appearance in this event. Kotov also battled through three sets to win his opening-round qualifier.
This was against Jozef Kovalik, the world number 125. The Russian is having a slow start to the season and has been defeated four times in six outings.
Defeating Kovalik has seen him move up one place to 102nd in the live ranking.
