Karen Khachanov vs Lloyd Harris: Preview

Khachanov comes into this match after a high of winning the silver medal at the recently concluded Tokyo Games. Although the Russian did lose in the third round of Toronto and second of Cincinnati, ahead of the US Open, he will be confident with his hard court game. Also, the 25-year-old will be encouraged by the fact that he has been spending adequate time on the hard courts, which is likely to help him in New York. Khachanov has never been past the third round in New York. Given his recent run, perhaps this is his best chance to set the record straight.

On the other hand, Harris will enter the opening round as the underdog. That said, he will be pumped after beating Rafael Nadal at the Citi Open in Washington, a few weeks ago. The South African too like his opponent suffered early exits in Toronto and Cincinnati, but will be keen on making an impact at the US Open. It is not to be forgotten that the 23-year-old was a surprise finalist in Dubai, earlier in the year. Don’t expect Harris to get pushed over.

These two have never met on the ATP tour till now.

Karen Khachanov vs Lloyd Harris: Prediction

Both players will rely on their big serves as they take court on Monday. We have seen how the South African has been firing aces in the warm up events. However, it is on his second serve that the Russian will have a big opportunity to cash in. Furthermore, Khachanov is more experienced and the momentum on his side is likely to see him through.

Match Prediction: Karen Khachanov should win in four sets.
