LiontipsKhachanov - Diallo. Forecast and bets for the ATP Almaty match
Command Analysis
Current form
Khachanov defeated Aleksandr Vukic (6-7, 6-3, 6-4) in the semi-finals of the competition in Almaty. Karen served 15 aces, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Australian. The Russian has five wins in six matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Khachanov is known for his attacking style, which is based on a powerful first serve. This is the Russian’s key weapon, which creates constant pressure on his opponents. His forehand with strong topspin is also often a decisive element of his game, especially in fast conditions. Karen’s backhand, especially diagonally, often becomes a winner. However, his main weakness is his limited tactical arsenal.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov once confidently held the top 10 of the world rankings, but now he is in 26th place. The Russian has generally played well this year. In February, we recall, he won the tournament in Doha. This title was the 13th in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
The day before, Khachanov played a three-set match for the first time since mid-September.
Current form
Diallo beat Francisco Cerundolo (6-4, 6-2) in the semifinal match of the tournament in Almaty. Gabriel served five aces, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. The Canadian has won five of six matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Diallo prefers fast surfaces such as hard and indoor courts, where his game really shines. After a strong first serve, the Canadian is eager to get into the court to close the rally in his favor as quickly as possible. Gabriel forehand is strong and accurate, especially if he manages to get into good court position.
Current indicators in the tour
Diallo successful play this year will soon take him to the top 100 of the world rankings. The Canadian is currently ranked 118. This season, we recall, he won the challenger in Chicago, thereby winning his fifth career title.

The only face-to-face meeting between the tennis players this season took place in the Montreal tournament. That match was played in two sets. Most likely, the upcoming match between the tennis players will also be a "low-scoring" one.

Four of Diallo last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games. We expect Gabriel upcoming match against Khachanov to also start with a top-heavy first set.
