Prediction and betting tips

Stefanos Tsitsipas has a streak of 12 victories and has won five out of six H2H matches against Karen Khachanov. He beat five opponents from the top 20 ATP during this win streak, whereas the Russian tennis player has won only one of the last six matches against rivals from the top 20 ATP. He was defeated in the last H2H match against Tsitsipas.

I believe that Stefanos Tsitsipas will get a confident victory in this match. Asian handicap (-4.5) games on Tsitsipas looks safe. Also, the exact handicap has played out in their last two H2H games.
