Head-to-Head
These two players have never met before.
Khachanov Still Finding Rhythm After Injury
Karen Khachanov dealt with fitness issues toward the end of the 2025 season, and his form has yet to fully recover in early 2026.
He has split his first four matches of the year, with losses to Michael Mmoh in Hong Kong and Luciano Darderi at the Australian Open raising concerns.
In search of rhythm and confidence, the Russian now heads to Rotterdam, a venue that has not been particularly kind to him over the years.
While he did reach the quarterfinals once, his other five appearances ended in either the first or second round.

Jesper de Jong Targets Home Breakthrough
Jesper de Jong has been steadily making inroads on the main tour in recent months, and those efforts have been rewarded with a place inside the top 100.
Playing at home in Rotterdam offers a valuable chance to deliver a statement result and further stabilise his ranking.
The task will not be straightforward, though. De Jong owns a modest 10–13 record in first rounds at tour-level events, with his most recent win at that stage coming at the Shanghai Masters in October 2025.
He has also struggled against top players, losing eight of his nine matches against top-20 players so far.

Verdict
This matchup does not justify a short price on Khachanov given his current form, particularly against a rising home player. The conditions and support should help De Jong stay competitive throughout.
While an outright upset may still be a stretch, De Jong has enough serve and confidence to win plenty of games. Expect him to keep the scoreline tight and challenge the handicap line.
