World No. 28 Karen Khachanov will face off against World No. 52 Sebastian Korda in the first round in Cincinnati on Monday.

This season, Khachanov has a winning record of 26 and a losing record of 19. He began the year by competing in the Adelaide International 1 final, where he was defeated by Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4. The Serbia Open and Qatar Open semifinals featured the Russian as well. The Adelaide International 2, Libema Open, Halle Open, and German Open all saw him advance to the round of eight. Khachanov also competed in the third round of the Australian Open before being defeated by Rafael Nadal, who went on to win the tournament. At the French Open, he advanced to the fourth round before being defeated by Carlos Alcaraz.

Meanwhile, Korda’s season hasn’t been particularly noteworthy. He has accumulated 20 victories and 15 defeats. His position has fluctuated all year. The American’s appearance in the semifinals of the Estoril Open helped him attain a career-high ranking of World No. 30 in May. The 22-year-old also advanced to the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach Open, but was unable to retain his title after falling to Cam Norrie in a close match 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (4). His momentum was halted by Mikael Ymer when he recently competed in the Citi Open quarterfinals.
