After the long week in Doha, Qatar, it is time to see the final. For me, personally, it is a bit surprising – Jakub Mensik versus Karen Khachanov, two players who did not show up before this competition, that they are in good shape to attack the title here. Still, I expect the game to be interesting, probably, we will see some quality rallies and eventually good win for those following my betting tip.
Jakub Mensik vs Karen Khachanov Betting Preview
The whole week, I played against Jakub Mensik, and he surprised me all the time. First, he did it against Andy Murray, where he had the chance to win with two tie-breaks, but then he did it against Gael Monfils, too. I watched the game against the French player, and I was surprised that the quality of the Monfils game dropped so much. Mensik did not play that well in the last few games, but Monfils was terrible in his service.
Karen Khachanov, on the other hand, is probably the most serious opponent for Mensik after Andrey Rublev. He is an experienced player, and he knows how to win titles, especially when he is pointed as a favourite. He did not have an easy draw, but he did some great wins against quality players, including Emil Ruusuvuori, Alexei Popyrin and Fabian Maroszan. I think the the Russian is playing good tennis and we saw that even from his last tournament in Marseille, where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-finals.

Betting Tip – Jakub Mensik vs Karen Khachanov
I have been chasing Jakub Mensik to lose a game here in Doha for quite some time, and I think this will finally happen in the final here. I really do not know how many games Mensik managed to win his matches in when he was absolutely on the edge of being eliminated (against Murray and then against Monfils). Even against Rublev, he has lots of dropdowns, and it is a miracle that he won in straight sets. Khachanov is notable for being a great server, possessing a strong baseline play, I think he might easily win against Mensik, who did lots of tough matches and stayed longer time on the courts.
