Khacha is holding up?

A difficult first round and the adversity will get even tougher, Khacha will have to fight

First big shock since Khacha's return from injury, we saw against Mmoh at the US Open that he was not strong enough and in rhythm to hope for anything. He had a month to work and his first round shows that he is coming back better. We will have to hold out against a McDonald's which is not easy to handle, the Russian knows this given that they have already played each other 3 times and that despite his 3 victories he really sucked each time. McDo's quality of movement and countering forces Khacha to put a little more into each shot to succeed in making the point. The Russian has always come out on top against him but this time he is in recovery and we are in ATP250, will he have the juice and the motivation necessary to win again?
