Jaume Munar vs Karen Khachanov prediction

Jaume Munar made it through to the round-of-16 stage with a three-set win over Frances Tiafoe. He outlasted the American and recovered from going a set and a break down to win 2-6 7-5 6-1. He capitalised on the shift in momentum to race away with the third set and secure a really impressive win. This was also very much needed after early exits at both Monte-Carlo and Marrakech. 

Karen Khachanov was also on the brink of an early exit before going on to beat Cameron Norrie. He lost the first set on a tiebreak and went a break down in the second but roared back to win 6-7 6-4 6-3. 

These two have only met once before, but it was on clay. Khachanov defeated the Spaniard in the Madrid Open six years ago in three sets. Munar will be heading into this match on a high after defeating Tiafoe and has the ability to cause problems for Khachanov on clay, but we still believe the Russian is good value to make it through to the quarter-finals.
