Vukic and Khachanov will meet in the semifinals of the tournament in Almaty on October 19. Vukic knocked Tiafoe out of the title race in the quarterfinals, which was a rather unexpected result. Moreover, Alexander beat the American in two sets in an hour and a half. Will the Australian be able to surprise Khachanov? - the analysis of the upcoming meeting and bets on this duel are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Aleksandar Vukic
AustraliaCurrent form
Vukic broke the resistance of Frances Tiafoe (6-2, 7-6) in the quarterfinals of the competition in Almaty. In the confrontation with the American, Alexander performed 13 aces, realized two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. The Australian has three wins in three matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Vukic is a counter-attacking player, and his game is especially effective on fast courts. His powerful first serve allows him to quickly seize the initiative in rallies, and if he fails to make an ace, he successfully finishes the point with a powerful forehand. However, his speed does not allow him to easily cope with fast and aggressive opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Vukic is ranked 85th in the world. Alexander has had a poor season, but overall he has had good results, and on different surfaces. He reached the semifinals this year on the outdoor hard court in Phoenix and played in the semifinals of the grass competition in Eastbourne.
Interesting facts for betting
Vukic has only three losses in his last ten games.
Karen Khachanov
Russian FederationCurrent form
Khachanov was stronger than Beibit Zhukaev (6-2, 6-4) in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Almaty. Karen made two aces during the match, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Russian, this was the fourth victory indoors this season in five matches.
Professional qualities
Khachanov has shown a preference for fast surfaces. His game is largely built around his serve, and he often relies on its effectiveness. However, Karen does not boast a diverse arsenal of techniques and lacks baseline skills. Under pressure from opponents, he can lose concentration, which leads to unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
The victory in Doha this year was Khachanov 13th in his career, including six ATP category trophies. Let us recall that the Russian is currently in 26th place in the world rankings, although he was once eighth.
Interesting facts for betting
