Grigor Dimitrov vs Karen Khachanov Prediction & Picks - Rolex Paris Masters
Grigor Dimitrov Aiming to Defend Title, Karen Khachanov Looking to Create Upset
Grigor Dimitrov, the defending champion and the world's sixth seed, enters the clash as the favorite. He leads the head-to-head, 2-0, but many expect a close match.
Karen Khachanov, the 21st seed, is a powerful hitter and can challenge Dimitrov's title defense. He has the power to overpower Dimitrov but must minimize unforced errors to maximize his chances.
Match Preview
Dimitrov won last year's title and has reached the quarterfinal or better in his last five Paris Masters appearances. He's known for his all-court game and ability to dictate points with his forehand.
Khachanov has a strong serve and forehand but struggles with consistency. He's capable of beating top players but needs to perform at his best.
Prediction
Dimitrov is the favorite, but Khachanov has the potential to cause an upset. If Khachanov can minimize his errors and serve well, he can challenge Dimitrov. However, Dimitrov's experience and all-around game should be enough to win in three sets.
Picks
- Grigor Dimitrov to win in three sets
- Khachanov to win a set
