Alexander Zverev vs Karen Khachanov Betting Analysis
Zverev Looking to Break Through
Zverev has by no means had a bad season, but he has come up short time and time again after reaching the final eight or four of each tournament in which he participates. The former Olympic gold medalist lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the , semi-finals of the Mifel Tennis Open to Jordan Thompson, and semi-finals of the Australian Open to Daniil Medvedev. He also suffered a disappointing Round of 32 exit at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.
The match-up against Khachanov is a tough one, but Zverev can take comfort in knowing that he holds a 3-2 advantage over the Russian in five matches. They haven’t played, however, since Zverev beat him in the gold medal match at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Khachanov had won the two prior matches. They’re 1-1 in two matches on outdoor hard courts.
Khachanov Consistently in Contention
Khachanov is 12-5 this season, including 10-4 on outdoor hard courts. Like Zverev, he has been in contention in most events this season but has yet to break through. He suffered a disappointing Round of 64 exit at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells two weeks ago but, before that, had a finals appearance in the Qatar Open and a semi-final appearance in the Open 13 Provence. He also lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the Round of 16 at the Australian Open.
Khachanov, who lost to Medvedev in the semi-finals of last year’s Miami Open, needed 2 hours and 48 minutes to win his third-round match against Cerundolo, whereas Zverev played just 1 hour and 44 minutes in his third-round match. That could be a factor in the Zverev vs Khachanov betting analysis.
Updates
Both have no injury concerns heading into the 2024 Miami Open predictions for the Zverev vs Khachanov betting analysis. Khachanov has been on court for 1 hour and 15 minutes longer than Zverev.
