LiontipsMannarino vs Khachanov. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Mannarino hasn't shown anything at the start of the new season. He left the challenger in Noumea following the first round. The Frenchman also lost in the first round at the competition in Auckland. Let recall that last season on open hard, Adrian had nine wins and 17 losses.
Professional qualities
Mannarino has always preferred a defensive style of play. The Frenchman masterfully uses the power of his opponent shots, turning them into his advantages. Almost every shot he makes looks like a simple stand, creating the illusion of minimal effort on the court. Sometimes Adrian demonstrates unconventional tactical solutions, which allows him to impose a fight even on strong opponents. However, such bursts of originality happen less and less often.
Current indicators in the tour
Mannarino is the 73rd racket in the world. Adrian was once ranked 17th in the world. During his career, the Frenchman has won 25 trophies, five of which are ATP categories. He won his last title in 2023 at an indoor tournament in Sofia - in the final of that competition, he beat Jack Draper.
Interesting facts for betting
Mannarino has only won two of his last eight matches.
Current form
Khachanov started the new season with a defeat. Karen took part in a tournament in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, where he lost to Kei Nishikori in the opening match. Last season, the Russian, as a reminder, won 14 matches on open hard courts, losing 13.
Professional qualities
Khachanov has a powerful serve and one of the strongest forehands on the men tour. However, his main weakness is a lack of creativity. He often plays too predictably, which leads to opponents making dribble passes and reduces his self-confidence.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov is the 19th racket in the world. Karen highest position in the world ranking is ninth place. Last season, the Russian won two ATP category trophies. He won in Doha, where he beat Yakub Menshik in the final. And he won the indoor tournament in Almaty, where he beat Gabriel Diallo in the final. In total, Khachanov has won 14 trophies in his career.
