Genève Khachanov Nishikori

This Tuesday, one of the matches of the second round of the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva pitted Karen Khachanov against Kei Nishikori. The two men know each other very well and have already faced each other seven times (5 wins to 2 in favor of the Japanese), and in Hong Kong, earlier this year, the former world number 4 managed to gain the upper hand over the Russian.

However, in Switzerland, the two men couldn't finish their match. Indeed, rain interrupted their duel several times, halting play after only two games in the first set. Upon their return, they were able to progress, but by evening, the bad weather returned, causing a definitive stop to the match for the day.

With the score at 7-5 for Khachanov and 5-2 for Nishikori in the second set, the two men will return in the second rotation on the center court this Wednesday, following the match between Taylor Fritz and Quentin Halys.

Also worth noting is that the matchup between Sebastian Ofner and Nuno Borges, which was supposed to take place after the Khachanov-Nishikori match on Tuesday night, will finally take place on Court 1 in the middle of the day (not before 12:30 PM), if the weather permits in the Swiss city.
