Tiafoe vs Khachanov: what to expect from this match?

Tiafoe made it to the third round of Wimbledon for the second time in his career. He managed to achieve that in 2018, but 2019 was not a good year for the American tennis player. Back then he lost in the first round to Fabio Fognini.

This time, Frances is well prepared for the third Major of the season. In June, he managed to win the Challenger in Nottingham, and also attended the quarterfinals of the London Open. He did not have really strong opponents there, the highest-rated being Aljaž Bedene. But this time Tiafoe has already defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-4, 6-4, 6-3) and Vasek Pospisil (6-4, 6-4, 6-4).

In 2019, Khachanov reached the third round at Wimbledon. Then the Russian managed to defeat Kwon Soon-woo and Feliciano Lopez, but he could not pass Roberto Bautista-Agut.

Karen's preparation for the Major can hardly be called successful. In Halle, for example, he lost to Andrey Rublev (3-6, 6-7), and in Mallorca - to Feliciano Lopez (6-4, 2-6, 4-6). But already at the courts of Wimbledon, the Russian closed Mackenzie McDonald (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6) and Egor Gerasimov (6-1, 7-6, 6-3).
