In the quarterfinals of the Kremlin Cup, Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov will play against John Millman from Australia.
John Millman
The 32-year-old representative of Australia the day before yesterday at the 1/8 finals stage was expected to beat Ilya Marchenko from Ukraine, but this match turned out to be extremely difficult for Millman. John won the first set without problems in 24 minutes with a score of 6:1. But Millman has already lost the second game with a score of 5:7. There was a hard struggle in the decisive game, but John was still able to make a break in the middle of the set and eventually bring it to victory with a score of 6:4 in games.
Karen Khachanov
The day before yesterday, 25-year-old Khachanov at the 1/8 finals stage in his first match at the Kremlin Cup won a strong-willed victory in three sets over another Australian James Duckworth. Karen lost the first game 3-6 in games, but then the Russian tennis player won the second set with the same score. In the decisive game Khachanov already completely dominated the court and won the set with a score of 6:1.
Karen Khachanov and John Millman played together twice. Back in 2015, Karen won the match with a score of 2:1 in sets. And in 2020, the victory was already celebrated by the representative of Australia with the same score 2:1.
Forecast
Karen Khachanov is the undisputed favorite in this match, and John Millman is still holding difficult matches even against an average opponent for himself. If Karen shows high-quality tennis in this match from the first game, he will have no problems in this confrontation. We believe that in this match it is possible to bet on a total of less than 10.5 games won by Millman.
