Diallo - Khachanov. Prediction for the Australian Open match
Diallo and Khachanov will meet in the second round of the Australian Open on January 16. Khachanov started confidently in Melbourne, beating Mannarino in three sets. The victory over the Frenchman allowed the Russian to gain the necessary playing form and not spend a lot of energy at the start of the tournament. Will the upcoming match be just as easy for Karen? - bets on this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Gabriel Diallo
CanadaCurrent form
Diallo defeated Lucas Nardi in the first round of the Australian Open (6-7, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2). Gabriel served 21 aces, converted seven break points and lost three games on his serve in the match against the Frenchman. For the Canadian, this was his fourth victory on open hard courts this season, with two losses.
Professional qualities
Diallo is a player who builds his game around a powerful serve. The Canadian also has good court movement despite his size, allowing him to confidently move around the baseline and return his opponent shots. However, he has little experience at Grand Slam tournaments, and although his potential is high, he still has a lot to prove on such stages.
Current indicators in the tour
Diallo is ranked 86th in the world. The 23-year-old Canadian has won five trophies in his career, the last of which he won last season. Last year, we recall, Gabriel won the Challenger in Chicago.
Interesting facts for betting
Diallo has won four of his last six fights.
Karen Khachanov
Russian FederationCurrent form
Khachanov dealt with Adrian Mannarino in the first round of the Australian Open, beating the Frenchman in three sets (7-6, 6-3, 6-3). Karen served six aces, converted six break points and lost three games on his serve. For the Russian, this was his first victory in two matches this season.
Professional qualities
Khachanov is an example of a player who relies on powerful shots, especially his serve and forehand. These components make him a dangerous opponent for most players. However, the picture is complicated by the fact that Karen’s game often lacks creativity and is too predictable for experienced tennis players. This leads to his opponents being able to easily beat him with passing shots. However, the Russian is working on improving his mental stability.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov was once ranked eighth in the world. But now the Russian is ranked 19th. Last year, Karen won two trophies - he won the open hard court in Doha and the indoor one in Almaty. In total, the Russian has won 14 trophies in his career, seven of which are ATP category.
Interesting facts for betting
Khachanov has won 8 of his last 10 matches at the Australian Open.

The difference in class is obvious here, although Diallo is rapidly gaining experience and confidently moving up the rankings. However, here and now Khachanov is stronger.

Three of Khachanov last five matches have seen more than 9.5 games played in the first set. We expect the upcoming meeting with Diallo to also start with a high first set.
