The round of 32 match of Paris Masters between Karen Khachanov and Laslo Djere will take place on October 31.
Karen Khachanov’s chances of securing a spot in Turin are still alive after a challenging opening-round victory against Max Purcell. Despite being sidelined for nearly three months due to injury and a lackluster performance upon his return, Khachanov’s presence in the Race underscores his impressive achievements prior to his absence. He consistently performed well in high-profile events over the last 20 months, propelling him back into the ATP Rankings’ top 20. Notable highlights include reaching the semifinals in Miami and the quarterfinals in Madrid earlier this year in Masters tournaments. To make it to the ATP Finals, Khachanov would have to win the title in Paris this week, a formidable task given his current form and the competition’s strength. However, it’s not impossible, as he accomplished it in 2018, defeating Alexander Zverev, Dominic Thiem, and Novak Djokovic in consecutive matches.
Laslo Djere overcame a setback after losing a 5-2 lead in the first set and then rallied from a break down in the second set to secure a victory over Luca Van Assche in the Paris Masters’ first round. This win was significant for Djere as it marked his first-ever victory in the main draw of the Paris Masters and a rare success in hard court Masters tournaments for the year 2023. Previously, he had only reached the second round in one other hard court Masters event this year, which was in Miami, where he was defeated in straight sets by the top-20 player Jannik Sinner.
