Semi-finalist of Roland Garros in 1989 Andrei Chesnokov shared his expectations from the meeting of Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov with Yoshihito Nishioka from Japan in the final of the tournament in Zhuhai, China.
On Tuesday, the Russian athlete will play in the decisive match with the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka. In early June, Khachanov lost to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the French Open, after which he withdrew from a number of tournaments due to a stress fracture and a crack in the sacrum.
— Karen already played with Nishioka this year at the Australian Open and won very confidently 6:0, 6:0, 7:6. But Yoshihito is such a hard worker on and off the court. It will be very great if Karen still wins the title,” Chesnokov told Vprognoze.ru.
The prize fund of the ATP 250 tournament in Zhuhai, China is more than $980 thousand.
