Alejandro Tabilo vs Karen Khachanov Prediction & Picks - ATP Italian Open

 by Bradley Gibbs | in ATP Italian Open Picks

After what was a memorable win against world number one Novak Djokovic, Alejandro Tabilo will be back in action in the Italian capital of Rome on Tuesday. The Chilean will take on Karen Khachanov, who is currently ranked 14 places higher according to the ATP, but after beating the best player on the planet, who also happens to be one of the greatest of all time, Tabilo will likely be confident. Can the 26-year-old move one step closer to securing his first title on European soil? At the early odds, it's worth betting that he can.

Our Alejandro Tabilo vs Karen Khachanov Prediction

Few people expected Alejandro Tabilo to make it beyond Novak Djokovic, but the Chilean showed now fear in that match and was on hand to take advantage of the Serbian not being at his brilliant best. Such a win will have filled Tabilo with a huge amount of confidence, while it's fair to say that he's got his clay-court game in fine shape. On his day, Tabilo is a very, very good player on clay. He's usually most effective at altitude, but in Rome, which is at sea level, he's showed versatility, playing some excellent tennis. In contrast, Khachanov hasn't had to do too much to make it thus far. The Russian has done what's been asked of him with minimum fuss, but I'm not sure that easy wins over lesser players will have him perfectly prepared for a match against a Tabilo who is arguably in the form of his life. To be honest, I was expecting Tabilo to be shorter after that Djokovic win, so while he's not I'm happy to take a chance on him here at what looks a slightly generous price.
