Fabio Fognini vs. Karen Khachanov Prediction
Fabio Fognini has always played well on clay and also has a great track record in the Hamburg Open. He faced Aljaz Bedene in his last match, and it went to a 3-set battle that ended with a tiebreak victory for Fognini. Fabio has dominated that head-to-head matchup against Bedene, winning 10 out of his last 11 matches. His next opponent, Karen Khachanov, will be a lot tougher.
Karen holds a 2-1 record in their matchups, but this is the first time they will meet on clay. Khachanov also had a 3-set battle that ended in a tie-break victory in his last match. Khachanov battled Jan-Lennard Struff, who he has beaten four out of the last five times.

I see this same game style playing out for both players in their match tomorrow. These players will both struggle to try and protect their serves. Fognini is always known to be a slow starter, but when he gets comfortable, he usually shines in the end. Fognini should be able to use his skillset on clay against Khachanovs and challenge him to work each game.
I expect a lot of breaks in this one, early and often. The momentum will shift back in forth in this tennis affair so expect both players' frustrations to show in Germany.
I will be locking in the over at 22 for tomorrow's play of the day. So lace up those shoes and meet me on the Dancing Floor!
