Koepfer saved break points in the opening game of the second set, but it proved to be a temporary reprieve. Two breaks of serve gave the Pole the first set, with the world number 96 struggling to deal with his serve. Last year he reached the final of the Challenger tournament in Nottingham, before losing to the Australian Alex Bolt, in three sets.Īnd he began his campaign in the Netherlands in confident style with a comfortable straight sets victory over Dominik Koepfer of Germany, in a match that started on Monday night, but whose conclusion had to be delayed until Tuesday after the light faded. He had a chance to break back, failed to take it, and was made to pay when he was broken again next game, handing Khachanov the first set.Īlthough he has only made the main draw of Wimbledon once before, Majchrzak, who is the Polish number two behind Hubert Hurkasz, is not a complete novice on grass. Tabilo, a man much happier on clay, struggled on serve, and had already saved several break points by the time he was broken midway through the first set. Khachanov Wants the Ranking Points on Offerĭespite the fact that he will not be allowed to enter Wimbledon this year because of his nationality, there are still valuable ranking points on offer in Rosmalen for Khachanov.Īnd, after a good clay court season, which culminated in yet another fourth round appearance at Roland Garros, Khachanov will be keen to sustain his recent momentum.Ĭertainly he was barely troubled in his opening round match by Alejandro Tabilo of Chile, the world number 82, in their opening round match on Tuesday. He won in the first round of the French Open in 2020, and again in the round of 16 in Lyon last year. The pair have played each other twice before, with both meetings coming on clay, and Khachanov winning each time.
It's worth betting on Khachanov to win with a handicap (-2.5) of a game.Karen Khachanov v Kamil Majchrzak Head to Head Karen has a strong serve which will help him to succeed. Majchrzak will have nothing against his opponent on grass. As in his match against Tabilo, the Moscow-born player will seize the initiative straight away and get a quick win. It must not be forgotten that the Russian reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last season.
Kamil majchrzak vs karen khachanov how to#
Khachanov both loves and knows how to play on grass.
Bookmakers see Karen as the clear favourite. At recent Roland Garros, Majchrzak was already eliminated in the first round after losing in five sets to Brandon Nakashima (4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-7, 2-6). However, it is worth mentioning his recent performance in Geneva where he made it through to the quarter-finals. Majchrzak defeated Germany's Dominik Kepfer 6-1, 6-4 in the first round. Khachanov easily defeated top-seeded Alejandro Tabilo 6-3, 6-3 in Hertogenbosch. Last season the Moscow native won five games and lost three, his best result being at Wimbledon, where he reached the quarter-finals. In total in his career on the grasscourt, Karen has 23 wins and 15 losses. Khachanov is playing in Hertogenbosch for the first time. And just recently the Russian made it to the fourth round of Roland Garros. At the beginning of 2022, Karen reached the final in Adelaide. Khachanov is having a good season overall. The favourite will have no problems in the upcoming match
