Karen Khachanov vs Roberto Bautista Agut Prediction: H2H Stats Not Key One Here

Prediction for the ATP Madrid match, which will take place on April 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

For Khachanov, the Madrid tournament is his third clay one of the season. Before that, he played three matches in Monte Carlo, losing in the fourth round to Rublev. In Barcelona, Karen beat Jarri but lost to Evans. Khachanov started the Masters with a tough win over Monteiro. The match lasted just over two hours; Khachanov won 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Karen's statistics in that match: 10/2 aces/double faults, 78%/79% serve rate, 32%/42% reception rate, 34/7 winners/unforced errors.

So far, Roberto has had the same wins as losses on the clay in 2023. He lost in Estoril to Gali. In Monte Carlo, after beating Krajinovic, he failed to Zverev. In Barcelona, Roberto got a victory over Zapata Miralles and a defeat to Alcaraz, although Carlos struggled to knock him out. In the second round of the Masters, Roberto avenged Gali for the recent failure in Portugal. The match lasted two hours and 28 minutes. Gali won the first set 6-4 but gave the next two 6-7, 3-6. Obviously, the second set, when the players had a tie-break, was ultimately decisive.

Roberto doesn't do better on clay than on other surfaces, as the other Spaniards do. He likes hard more, with a 50%/50% win/loss ratio on the clay this season. Khachanov looked great at Monte Carlo and confidently started the tournament in Barcelona but failed against Evans. He played an uneven match with Monteiro. After the first set, there was no third one, but there was a collapse.

Overall, Khachanov has a better tonus, which is reflected in the rankings. But we wonder if the upcoming meeting will be an easy walk for him. Roberto is an uncomfortable opponent for Karen, although the players have not seen eye to eye lately.
