Karen Khachanov is back to his best. Winner of the ATP 250 in Doha last week, he confirmed this trend by delivering a very solid match to defeat Luca Van Assche in the 1st round in Dubai.
The young Frenchman couldn't do much. He led 3 games to 1 in the second set, but was then unable to resist the Russian's comeback. The Russian won the last 5 games of the match to win 6/2, 6/3 in just 1h20.
Khachanov will face Czech Jiri Lehecka in the 2nd round.
