A Look at the Contenders:
- Matteo Berrettini: The Italian powerhouse advanced to the quarterfinals after a hard-fought victory over Frances Tiafoe. Berrettini’s powerful serve and strong forehand have been key to his success, but he’ll need to be sharp to counter Khachanov’s aggressive style.
- Karen Khachanov: The Russian has been in exceptional form, winning the Almaty Open last week. His powerful groundstrokes and consistent play have made him a formidable opponent on any surface.
Match Prediction:
While Berrettini has a strong head-to-head record against Khachanov, the Russian’s current form gives him the edge. Khachanov’s aggressive style and ability to dictate play could prove too much for Berrettini.
