Baez can take some pride in his season’s accomplishments. He competed in his first final in Chile in February, and although though he fell short there, he won in Estoril two months later. He defeated to fellow countryman Francisco Cerundulo in the Swedish Open championship match in July. But it is no accident that all of those activities took place on clay, which was his favoured surface. He does not experience the same amount of success outside of it. He lost to Pablo Carreno-Busta last week in Basel’s opening round in straight sets. Although he has never participated in this competition, his best performance in a Masters tournament to date was a second-round finish at the Italian Open in May.
Khachanov’s run to the US Open semifinals, his highest ever finish at a Grand Slam, was unquestionably the highlight of the season. That should be plenty to guarantee that he finishes the year inside the top 20, and he can start making plans for the Australian Open the following year with confidence. Last week, he advanced to the second round in Vienna, but ran upon Dan Evans, a contestant he had never defeated before and has yet to do so. Khachanov will remember this competition well from four years ago. He triumphed, earning his lone Masters victory to date.
Karen Khachanov and Sebastian Baez are scheduled to take on one another in the first round of the 2022 Paris Masters on Monday, October 31. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 31 to November 6, 2022.
