ATP – Beijing > Beaten again by Khachanov, his bête noire, Cerundolo will have nightmares

Sunday 29th September 2024 12:10 PM

Seven defeats in seven confrontations including five in 2024. Here is the terrible record of Francisco Cerundolo against Karen Khachanov.

Already beaten in Miami, Monte‐Carlo, Rome and Cincinnati by the Russian this season, the Argentinian lost again to his bête noire, this Sunday in the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 in Beijing: 7–6 (4), 7–6(9), in 2h10 of play.

A new setback all the more cruel than the current 31^e Mondial generally dominated the debates by even obtaining three second set balls on his serve, including two in a row.

Not holding a grudge, Cerundolo displayed a broad smile during the handshake at the net with his opponent, who also gave him a little consolation hug.

Class.
