Between them these two players were on court for just over eight hours in round one. 15th seed Karen Khachanov takes on unseeded Nishesh Basavareddy in round two of the Australian Open. Time for our match prediction.
Either 22nd seed Luciano Darderi or unseeded Sebastian Baez will be faced next in this outdoor hard court Grand Slam.
Karen Khachanov had a tough first round match against Alex Michelsen. The Russian lost the first set but fought back to win in five. The 29-year-old is attempting to reach round three for the eighth time in a row. The win over Michelsen was only his second match of the year, losing the previous one in Hong Kong. He’s 18th in the live rankings.
Khachanov met Basavareddy in last year’s US Open. He won in four sets with two going 7-5 and 7-6.
Nishesh Basavareddy had to win three qualifiers to get into this main draw, losing two sets. He had to come from two sets to one down to beat Christopher O’Connell in round one. That win has taken the American to 190th in the live list. He’s played for just eight minutes less than 11 hours in this tournament.
