Daniil Medvedev vs Karen Khachanov prediction
An engrossing all-Russian encounter is on the cards between Karen Khachanov and Daniil Medvedev in the third round of the Monte-Carlo Masters. Both players have a modest record on clay and will be determined to do well this time around.
Medvedev has been among the most consistent players this year. Despite reaching the finals at two significant events on tour, he is yet to claim a title. While clay hasn't been his favored surface over the years, he showcased his potential last year by winning the Italian Open. The Russian is known for his steady all-around game, high tactical acumen and resilient attitude on the court.
Khachanov, on the contrary, has struggled to raise his level in the last couple of years. He has a brilliant record in the opening few rounds of an event, but has failed to make an impact against higher-ranked opponents on the business end. The 27-year-old will need to think outside the box, find ways to get Medvedev out of his comfort zone and execute his strategy. Khachanov is known for his rocketing serve and powerful groundstrokes, especially off the forehand wing.
Ultimately, the player who begins well and holds their nerve during crucial moments, will have the upper hand in this bout. Khachanov has the pedigree to present a tough challenge to Medvedev and has a slightly better record on clay, but the fourth seed has started on a solid note and should be able to continue his run in Monte-Carlo.
Pick: Medvedev to win in three sets.
