LiontipsKhachanov - Menshik: prediction and bets on the ATP Indian Wells match
Command Analysis
Current form
Khachanov has negative statistics on the open hard this season - three wins and four losses. The last tournament in which Karen participated was in Dubai, where the Russian beat Daniel Evans in the first round, after which he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Professional qualities
Khachanov relies on a strong serve and an aggressive forehand, while he is able to withstand prolonged draws on the back line. Karen has a reliable backhand. In general, we can say that there are practically no weak points in the Russian's game. The only thing is probably Khachanov's slightly straightforward performance.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov has won seven ATP trophies in his career. Last season, he won competitions in Doha and Almaty. In the world ranking, the Russian is currently in 23rd place, although he was once in the top 10.
Interesting facts for betting
Khachanov left Indian Wells last season after the second round.
Current form
Menshik beat Thomas Etcheverry 6-4, 7-6 in the first round of the Indian Wells Masters. In a duel against the Argentine, Jakub made nine aces, made four break points and lost three games on his serve. For the Czech, it was his seventh victory on the open hard court this season, with four losses.
Professional qualities
Menshik is a good example of the fact that a powerful serve and a solid forehand are enough to succeed on the hard court. Thanks to these elements, he moved closer to the top 50 of the world ranking in a year. However, an unstable backhand and insufficiently reliable defense have not yet allowed him to take the next step forward.
Current indicators in the tour
Menshik is close to returning to the top 50 of the world ranking soon - he is currently in 57th place. The Czech tennis player has won six trophies during his career. He completed the last of them in 2023 at a home dirt challenger in Prague.
Interesting facts for betting
Menshik has one win in his last four fights.
