Karen Khachanov and Denis Kudla will lock horns in an exciting opening-round encounter at the 2022 US Open on Monday.
The 27th-seeded Khachanov entered the competition with three early exits from the main draw, in Cincinnati, Montreal, and San Jose. The defeats brought his season win-loss record to 26-20. The Russian hasn’t had the best run-up to the US Open, but he does have a powerful game that could help him turn things around.
While in New York, Kudla will also try to snap a four-match losing streak. The American hasn’t actually won back-to-back games since Miami in March, when he recorded three of his five main draw victories for 2022. Despite his terrible pregame performance, Kudla will be confident that he can perform better in front of his home crowd in New York.
