Cilic, the fourth seed, has had a solid start to the season. He reached the semi-finals of both the warm-up tournaments before the Australian Open. He also had a pretty good run at the Australian Open 2022, where he defeated the fifth-seed Andrey Rublev in the third round, before losing to Felix Auger Aliassime in the fourth round. His achievements have catapulted him back into the world’s top 25 players. The Croatian got off to a strong start in Doha, defeating Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 7-5.

Khachanov had a bright start to the season as well. He reached the finals of his first tournament of 2022 in Adelaide but lost to top-seeded Gael Monfils. He advanced to the quarter-finals of the next tournament in Adelaide. He lost in the third round of the Australian Open to Rafael Nadal, the eventual champion. In this tournament, he defeated quality opponents Mackenzie McDonald and Emil Ruusuvuori without missing a set, and he appears to be in good shape.

Both players have strong first serves and rely heavily on them, thus this match is unlikely to include many breaks. This week, the Russian has proven more effective at serving, giving up fewer breakpoints in two sets than Cilic has in one. Khachanov has been the stronger player this week and will be confident after defeating Cilic only a month ago. The Russian should be able to win this match and proceed to the last four.

Prediction: Khachanov to win in two sets.
