World No.11 Cameron Norrie of Britain will take on Russia’s Karen Khachanov in the third round of the 2022 French Open on Friday, May 27.
Cameron Norrie cruised through the first two rounds of the 2022 French Open with comfortable straight wins. Coming from a successful campaign in Lyon Open last week, Norrie is at a 6 match winning streak after the win against Australia’s Jason Kubler. Norrie has never gone past the third round at a Grand Slam and had lost at this stage last year. With his current form, he should be able to move past the Russian roadblock.
The 21st seed Karen Khachanov defeated Bolivia’s Hugo Dellien in the second round on Wednesday. Having lost the first set, the Russian registered a stunning comeback to win the match in four sets 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), 6-3 after three hours of tennis. It is to be noted that Khachanov has never lost a third round match in the Roland Garros in his 5 third round appearances. He is to face the toughest opponent in his draw and it will be interesting to see if he can extend his record this year.

Cameron Norrie vs Karen Khachanov Prediction: Who will win this match?
This should be a extremely close contest on paper. There is not much to separate the two players according the head to head records. They met four times last year, splitting two wins each, while Norrie won their only meeting of 2022 in Rotterdam. Even though Khachanov is playing good tennis, with Norrie being the higher seeded player and in stunning form, I back him to win this match with relative ease.
Prediction: Cameron Norrie to win in four sets.
Betting Tips: Norrie to win at 1.44 odds
