Karen Khachanov as Kei Nishikori. Betting Tip for the ATP Geneva match
Khachanov and Nishikori will meet in the second round of the tournament in Geneva on May 20.

According to personal meetings with Karen, the Japanese veteran leads 5-2. However, Kay is no longer the one who once caused the Russians serious problems.
