Denis Shapovalov vs Karen Khachanov: Preview
Denis Shapovalov was stretched in his first-round encounter at Wimbledon to five sets by Philipp Kohlschreiber. Denis did look a little out of sorts in that game but somehow managed to win. However, after that, he has been absolutely relentless in all his matches.
Denis thrashed crowd favorite Andy Murray in his third-round clash in straight sets. Moreover, he went past Roberto Bautista Agut in a similar fashion in the fourth-round match. Eighth-seeded Bautista Agut looked surprisingly helpless in front of Denis throughout the clash.
Moreover, Denis scored 16 aces in comparison to Bautista Agut’s just 1 which proved to be a huge difference in the game. Karen Khachanov on the other hand is coming off an incredibly hard-fought encounter against Sebastian Korda in the fourth round.
Khachanov won his second and third-round matches without dropping a single set. However, he was given a mighty scare by Korda. The Russian national kept his cool under pressure and eventually confirmed his place in the top 8. Khachanov came into Wimbledon after a terrible outing at Mallorca Open. However, the way he has started off at the grass-court grand slam depicts the kind of talent he is.
