Khacha imposes itself as in Vienna?

A 6/4 6/4 victory against Safiullin last week, the conditions are slightly different so enough to change the situation?

In one week a lot of things can change, with a prestigious victory over Alcaraz plus Safiullin could cause problems for Khachanov, right? In any case, Karen for his part is finishing the season strong after a recent dip, his first two rounds are really clean and I don't see why he would play badly tomorrow. The two have a similar level of play and it's hard to give a real advantage to one or the other. Yes Khacha beat him a few days ago but Safiullin already has 4 victories in his legs at Bercy and perhaps feels better here than in Vienna, in any case I don't see any big value in this match. .
