Khachanov vs. Carreno Busta. ATP Paris Match Forecast

He won the title in Almaty and reached the final in Vienna. Does the Russian still have strength for the Masters in Paris? - the analysis of the upcoming match and bets on this duel are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Karen Khachanov

Current form
Khachanov showed a good result at the tournament in Vienna last week on the eve of the Masters in Paris. Karen managed to reach the final of that competition - he lost to Jack Draper in the decisive match. On indoor hard courts, the Russian has ten wins and only two losses this season.
Professional qualities
Khachanov is a versatile player who can adapt to any surface. He prefers to keep a high tempo, imposing his style of play, actively attacking with a powerful first serve and forehand with strong topspin. The Russian is focused on aggression, and when in top form, he is difficult to stop on any type of court, which makes him a dangerous opponent for players of all levels.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov has had a great last two tournaments. He won the competition in Almaty and reached the final of the tournament in Vienna. The Russian also has a victory at a major tournament in Doha this season. Karen is currently ranked 21st in the world, although he was once ranked eighth.
Interesting facts for betting
Khachanov was last year quarterfinalist at the Paris Masters.

Pablo Carreno Busta

Current form
Carreno Busta is not in his best playing form at the moment. The last three tournaments ended for the Spaniard based on the results of the opening matches. In Vienna last week, he failed to overcome the qualification, losing to Thiago Seyboth Wilde. Incidentally, this was Pablo first indoor match this year.
Professional qualities
Carreno Busta has struggled with age and a serious injury that kept him off the tour for almost a year and a half. A decline in speed and stamina has affected his results. However, Pablo is playing in his usual style - he keeps the ball on the baseline and waits for the right moment to counter-attack.
Current indicators in the tour
Carreno Busta is a former world No. 10. However, he is currently ranked 203rd in the world. This is due to injuries that have plagued the Spaniard in recent years. Pablo has not played many matches this season. He showed his best result on the open hard court in Winston-Salem, where he managed to reach the semi-finals.
Interesting facts for betting
Carreno Busta has won just one of his last six matches.

1.87Tip and bets
Khachanov is the favorite of the match, but we think that Karen is pretty tired after two tough weeks in Almaty and Vienna, and he may simply not have enough strength for a good performance in Paris. We believe that Carreno-Busta will be able to at least get a positive handicap in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is a victory for Carreno-Busta with a handicap of (+4) games at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Khachanov and Carreno Busta have met each other ten times in their careers. Their last face-to-face encounter was played over the top. We expect the upcoming match between the tennis players to also be a struggle.
The second forecast is total over 22 games for odds of 1.85
Bet on the first set
Four of the last five Carreno-Busta matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect the upcoming Pablo vs. Khachanov match to also start with a low-scoring first set.
Forecast - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.99
