Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov reached the second round of the ATP tournament in St. Petersburg.
At the start of the competition, the Russian, who received the sixth seed, beat the Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in two sets. The meeting lasted 1 hour and 26 minutes. Khachanov demonstrated confident play on his serve (5 aces and not a single double error), did not present his opponent with a breakpoint chance, but at the same time realized only three out of 16 breaks on someone else's serve. We add that Mannarino made 9 double mistakes.
In the next round, the Russian rival will be Croat Marin Cilic.
