Tennis Prediction Karen Khachanov vs Flavio Cobolli: Wimbledon

Wimbledon 🍓

• I tend to go for the over 39.5 games between Karen Khachanov and Flavio Cobolli on the Wimbledon side because I have a hard time imagining a one-sided match between these two players.

• Karen Khachanov clearly makes a better impression on me since the start of the tournament, the Russian has just won two convincing victories where he has generally mastered his subject.

• He serves very well, shows solidity from the back of the court and gives the impression of gradually gaining momentum.

• On the other side, Flavio Cobolli is defending a quarter-final at Wimbledon but I have to admit that his start to the tournament did not fully convince me.

• He had to fight against Mariano Navone, then against James Duckworth, two victories obtained with difficulty, where he sometimes seemed a bit physically impaired.

• This is not necessarily a surprise, the Italian is coming out of an extremely intense period with his final at Roland-Garros, and this can logically leave some traces.

• However, I do not see Karen Khachanov running away with it, Cobolli remains a player with a lot of character and the further the tournament progresses, the more he tends to raise his level of play.

• He has this ability to cling on in difficult moments and to prolong the matches, even when he is dominated by sequences.

• This is exactly what I like for an over games.

• On his side, Khachanov is a player that I appreciate a lot but he sometimes has this ability to make certain matches more complicated than they should be.

• Even when he dominates, he regularly allows his opponent to come back into the game for a few games, I think Cobolli is the kind of player capable of taking advantage of it.

• Stylistically, the two also have great qualities behind their commitment.

• I expect to see several well-mastered service games and particularly tight sets, a scenario with one or more tie-breaks seems far from impossible to me.

• In the end, I continue to give a slight advantage to Karen Khachanov, he seems more solid to me than the Italian since the start of this fortnight.

• But between a Cobolli who never gives up, a Khachanov capable of letting his opponent come back into his matches and two players who have the weapons to hold their serves, I have a hard time imagining a quick victory.
