Khacha is Back!

Curious to know in what state of form the Russian will appear on this Asian tour and more generally at the end of the season

I don't count Khachanov's match at the US Open as his real comeback, he was a bit forced to participate in the tournament since he had a lot of points to defend. His return was clearly rushed and he lacked rhythm, juice and simply matches. With a good month to really get back to 100% (at least we hope he does) he should show a much better face tomorrow. A relatively affordable first round on paper, Bolt is quite limited in the game, behind his first ball he forces with his forehand and can quickly get stuck in a bad spiral. The Australian beat a still disappointing Schwartzmann, he is coming out of the qualifiers and will clearly play his luck without having any pressure. You always have to be wary of this kind of profile in a tournament but the real question is whether Khachanov can regain his level of performance. 'before injury tomorrow.
