Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Karen Khachanov prediction
Both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov head into their blockbuster encounter on the back of some good form.
Tsitsipas has looked like his old self in his three matches in Monte-Carlo so far, not having dropped a set till now. He's been solid on serve and has used the chip-and-charge tactic very well so far.
Khachanov, too, has looked in scintillating form, having beaten the likes of Norrie and Medvedev in the tournament already. He put on a display of brutal groundstrokes from the baseline against Medvedev and will look to maintain that consistency going forward.
While Tsitsipas has dominated Khachanov in most of their encounters in the past, there is no discounting a surprise from the Russian.
Tsitsipas, however, holds the edge being the better claycourt player and a former champion here, and could run away with the match if he plays as well as he has in the tournament so far.
Pick: Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets
