Though I do wonder just how much scar tissue was created by his loss in the final of last year’s US Open, where he was up two sets before eventually losing in a fifth-set tiebreak. And he’s reached the semifinals or better at Majors three times, something Khachanov is yet to achieve. He owns 15 career titles, which includes four Masters events, as well as the 2018 ATP Finals. Zverev is certainly the far more accomplished player. But it is worth noting he’s 4-0 lifetime in ATP finals, with his other three victories coming at 250-level events. And prior to his run to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, Khachanov was only 16-14 on the year. However, he hasn’t won a title, or even reached a final, ever since. The event in Paris was the biggest title run of the Russian’s career, and a week where he also defeated Dominic Thiem and Novak Djokovic. At the 2018 Paris Masters, it was 6-1, 6-2. Overall they have split four previous encounters, but Khachanov leads 2-1 on this surface, which includes their two most recent meetings. Karen Khachanov (12) – Second on Centre Court Sunday’s play gets underway at 3:00pm local time.
Will Elena Vesnina be able to recover from a devastating loss in Saturday’s women’s doubles bronze medal match? Vesnina and Veronika Kudermetova held four match points, only to lose the last six points of the match and fail to reach the podium. In addition, a pair of teams representing the Russian Olympic Committee will face off for gold in mixed doubles. For Bencic, it’s an opportunity to win a second gold medal in as many days. In women’s doubles, Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova have won three Majors, and now go for a gold medal against Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic and Viktorija Golubic. The last day of tennis in Tokyo will also host two gold medal matches in doubles.
