Alexandre Muller vs Karen Khachanov prediction
Karen Khachanov will aim to put his US Open disappointment behind him in China.
The Russian fell early at Flushing Meadows after a consistent run of form that had also seen him reach the final in Canada.
First up here, the fifth seed faces Alexandre Muller, who is enjoying a career-best year but has struggled of late.
The French world number 38 has lost 10 of his last 13 matches and also trails the head-to-head 1-0 having lost in Metz four years ago.
Khachanov is such a rock-solid performer that Muller can’t afford any dips in concentration or level and that is likely at present, so the Russian should progress in the end.
