Huesler is having a very strong season. It was this year that Marc-Andrea won his first ATP title, winning the Sofia Open. However, we believe that Karen has a good chance of showing a good result in Paris.
If Karen does win, it is unlikely that his victory will be easy. Huesler is in good form, as evidenced by his first-round victory over Sinner.
Khachanov started in Paris with a confident win over Sebastian Baez (6-1, 6-1). It must be said, that the match was too easy.
Baez, in effect, simply capitulated, refusing to fight. Karen took both sets by a score of 6-1. Most interestingly, it took him 58 minutes to do so.
Last week, Khachanov went one round at a tournament in Vienna. After beating American J.J. Wolf (7-6, 7-5), Khachanov lost to Dan Evans (2-6, 2-6).
In addition, Karen did not win a single match in Antwerp, losing straight away to Sebastian Korda (5-7, 6-7).
After the US Open, where he reached the semi-finals, Khachanov had his best tournament so far in Astana. Here, Karen managed to get through two rounds before being stopped by Novak Djokovic (4-6, 3-6).
Khachanov has won four of his last five matches played in France.
Huesler, meanwhile, was one of the main protagonists of the first round. He scored a confident victory over Jannik Sinner (6-2, 6-3) on Monday.
It’s certainly a sensation, but there are nuances. Marc-Andrea took the title in Sofia in early October, beating Holger Rune (6-4, 7-6) in the deciding match.
So, Huesler is not as simple as many might have thought. Marc-Andrea has made significant progress in the second half of the season.
In Paris, Huesler made it into the main draw, managing to beat two not-so-easy opponents.
Huesler has won four of his last five matches at the ATP-1000 tournaments.
