Munich Debut: After accepting a wild card into the event, second seed Karen Khachanov also aims to capture his first title of the year. The Russian broke through at the end of 2018 by winning his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Rolex Paris Masters, but is currently on a four-match losing streak dating back to a quarter-final loss to Rafael Nadal at the BNP Paribas Open.

Russian Karen Khachanov, the No. 11 seed, recovered from first-and-second-set deficits on Monday against Jaume Munar of Spain to book his place in the Mutua Madrid Open second round. Khachanov battled past wild card Munar 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3, in three hours, to snap a five-match losing streak for a meeting against Radu Albot or two-time former quarter-finalist Fernando Verdasco.

Also battling through was 11th seed Karen Khachanov, who overcame his opponent and the Italian crowd by beating home favourite Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 6-7(1), 6-3 in two hours and 25 minutes. The Russian will next face Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who moved past Italian Andreas Seppi in three sets on Sunday.

It is Khachanov's first win at the Foro Italico after losing on his debut last year in a final-set tie-break. Khachanov's best result of the year came at the BNP Paribas Open, where he reached the quarter-finals. The 2017 Next Gen ATP Finals qualifier won his maiden Masters 1000 title at last season's Rolex Paris Masters.

Karen Khachanov earned a confidence-boosting win against the ever-consistent Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut on Thursday at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

The 22-year-old knuckled down to recover from a set and 3-4 deficit to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 in two hours and 29 minutes. By breaking a three-match losing streak against Bautista Agut, Khachanov will next play on Thursday against fifth-seeded Austrian Dominic Thiem or Spain’s Fernando Verdasco, whom he lost to at last week’s Mutua Madrid Open.

Back on Parisian soil, a little more than eight miles from the scenes of his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Rolex Paris Masters in November 2018, Karen Khachanov is rebuilding his confidence.

In his 22 matches since beating three Top 10 opponents en route to the trophy, Khachanov has suffered eight opening-round exits, but at Roland Garros on Tuesday, the 10th-seeded Russian powered his way past Cedrik-Marcel Stebe of Germany 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 in one hour and 37 minutes.

The 23-year-old Khachanov was always in control against Stebe, breaking serve five times in the first two sets, which included 12 winners from the Russian’s racquet, then winning 16 of the first 20 points in the third set. He will now prepare to face French wild card Gregoire Barrere or Matthew Ebden of Australia in the second round.

Karen Khachanov stopped Martin Klizan 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 in their third round clash. Khachanov, seeded 10th in Paris, has equalled his best Grand Slam result. The 23-year-old has reached the second week in all three main draw appearances at the clay-court major.

Khachanov, who captured his 100th tour-level match win earlier in the week, is rounding into form in the French capital. He has dropped just one set en route to the fourth round, also downing Cedrik-Marcel Stebe and wild card Gregoire Barrere.

"I think from my side it was a solid match," said Khachanov. "I think he was a little bit tired after two five-setters, so I felt it from the beginning. And I think that's what was the main key for me, to try to move him, to not give him some easy shots, because he's a dangerous guy. He's going for his shots. He's very unpredictable.

Khachanov Beats Del Potro To Reach First Slam QF; Guarantees Top 10 Spot

Spoiler:

Russian No. 1 to face Thiem in the quarter-finals
Three times previously Karen Khachanov was denied in the fourth round of a Grand Slam. But not on Monday at Roland Garros.

The No. 10 seed executed his big-hitting, aggressive game plan to near perfection to beat eighth seed Juan Martin del Potro 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, advancing to his first Grand Slam quarter-final. With his victory, Khachanov is guaranteed to crack the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings for the first time when the new standings are released on 10 June.

In the Round of 16 in Paris two years ago, then-World No. 1 Andy Murray dispatched Khachanov in just more than two hours. Last season, Alexander Zverev came from two-sets-to-one down to oust the Russian at this event. But Khachanov took matters into his own hands against Del Potro, ripping 58 winners to move on after three hours and nine minutes.

Player Winners Unforced Errors
Karen Khachanov 58 35
Juan Martin del Potro 42 48
This was Khachanov's first triumph against a Top 10 opponent at a major, having lost his first six matches at the Slams against the elite group. The memories of eight first-round losses this year will be long gone as the World No. 11 advances to face 2018 finalist Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals.

Typically, it’s Del Potro who comes out on top in bruising baseline rallies, eventually manoeuvring himself into position to unleash one of his massive forehands. But Khachanov stayed in rallies with the ‘Tower of Tandil’, attacking his opponent’s forehand — especially with his backhand down the line — to set up his own big forehand throughout the match.

Del Potro appeared destined to take the first set, earning five break points, but he was unable to convert any of them. Khachanov took full advantage of his new life in the set, winning his first break point, which was also a set point at 6-5, when the Argentine dumped a neutral backhand into the net.

Khachanov further built on his momentum by winning the first 11 points of the second set, taking a 3-0 lead to put even more pressure on Del Potro. And if the Russian felt any pressure trying to close out the set, he did not show it, serving it out to love, turning around to his team as he pumped his fist after Del Potro misfired on a crosscourt backhand.

Infosys powers real-time insights for every point

Del Potro, competing in just his fourth tournament of the season as he continues his recovery from a fractured patella last October, did well to immediately break to start the third set, winning his first return game of the match. But as darkness began to descend on Roland Garros, Khachanov wasted little time getting back on serve as he unleashed a rocket-like inside-in forehand winner.

The two-time semi-finalist, Del Potro, refused to go away, though. He broke to love for a 4-2 lead, erased two break points in the following game with trademark forehand winners, and snuffed out another Khachanov opportunity as he served for the set to keep his hopes alive.

But Khachanov remained undeterred, raising his level even more to break in his first return game of the fourth set. As hard as Del Potro battled, with the crowd behind him, all the 30-year-old could do was bury his head in a flower bed on the side of the court after the Russian put away one timely forehand volley.

Khachanov was winless in three previous FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings against Del Potro. Although none of those matches came on clay, the Russian had only won one of eight previous sets in their rivalry.

The top-ranked Russian will play Thiem for a spot in his first major semi-final. The Russian won their only previous FedEx ATP Head2Head match at last year's Rolex Paris Masters 6-4, 6-1 in 71 minutes on an indoor hard court.

Did You Know?
Khachanov is the ninth Russian man to reach the last eight at Roland Garros in the Open Era, and the first to accomplish the feat since Mikhail Youzhny in 2010. Khachanov is also just the second Russian man to make a Grand Slam quarter-final since Youzhny at the 2013 US Open (Andrey Rublev, 2017 US Open).
