Khachanov Poised to Advance at Roland Garros

Karen Khachanov is set to face Marco Trungelliti at Roland Garros in a match that gives the Russian a strong opportunity to progress in the men’s draw. Khachanov, a former Grand Slam semifinalist with a powerful baseline game, enters the contest as the more established player on clay and at major tournaments.

Trungelliti, an experienced Argentine known for his persistence and clay-court familiarity, will look to disrupt Khachanov’s rhythm and extend rallies. But Khachanov’s serve, weight of shot and experience in best-of-five matches are expected to be decisive as he targets a place in the next round in Paris.
