LiontipsKaren Khachanov vs Andrei Rublev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Halle
Command Analysis
The Halle Open is a successful tournament for Khachanov. The last three times in Halle, Karen played in the quarterfinals. For example, in 2019, he beat Kecmanović and Struff but lost to Matteo Berrettini.
It will be very difficult to defend this result since the Russian player is not having a great season. He reached the semifinals only twice, and it was not at the top-rated tournaments, but in Melbourne and Lyon. But at Roland Garros, Khachanov performed shockingly, losing in the second round to Kei Nishikori.
Rublev has also been on a downturn lately. Andrei showed phenomenal performance at the beginning of the year, but this didn't last long. Recently, the Russian has been disappointing his fans: in Rome, he unexpectedly lost to Lorenzo Sonego, and at Roland Garros he was knocked out by Struff in the first round.
In 2017, Rublev also played in Halle in the quarterfinals. But in 2019, Andrei did not even manage to qualify. Back then he lost to Mats Moraing.

Tip and bets
Khachanov has been demonstrating a weak performance lately, but the tournament in Halle is special for him. It is possible that here Karen will perform successfully again, so he definitely will strive to beat Rublev. Andrei is also experiencing a slight decline now, so we do not believe in his easy victory. Most likely, the fight will take a while.
Our prediction is total over 22.5 games
The players had four matches against each other. Khachanov won three of them. In 2017 in Halle, by the way, he beat Rublev in three sets. Considering this, we propose to play a positive handicap on Karen.
The second prediction is Khachanov to win with the handicap (+3)
