Pouille and Khachanov Take Aim at Open 13 Provence Title Atp Ranking Points and Prize Money OPEN 13 PROVENCE: DAY 7 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, 25 February 2018 Palais des Sports - Marseille, France | 19-25 February 2018 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €645,485 Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com Open13.fr Fabienne Benoit: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @Open13 Press Room: [email protected] Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @Open13 TV & Radio: TennisTV.com POUILLE AND KHACHANOV TAKE AIM AT OPEN 13 PROVENCE TITLE • No. 3 seed Lucas Pouille of France and No. 9 seed Karen Khachanov of Russia are the last two men standing in Marseille, and will meet for the Open 13 Provence championship on Sunday. The 24-year-old Frenchman and the 21-year-old Russian will be facing each other for the first time on the ATP World Tour. • It is a second consecutive final in Marseille for Pouille, who beat his compatriot Richard Gasquet in the semi- finals last year before losing in the title match to another Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. One year later, the No. 3 seed has surpassed both Tsonga and Gasquet to become the top-ranked French player on the ATP World Tour, and beat both of those players en route to his fifth singles title in Montpellier two weeks ago. Between Montpellier and Marseille, Pouille is 7-0 in France during February, and hopes to claim one more victory to clinch a second singles title in the last three weeks. This current rich vein of form is a far cry from his start to the year, where he played only one match during January: a loss to qualifier Ruben Bemelmans in the first round of the Australian Open. In Marseille, though, Pouille powered through the field after a first-round bye, outlasting Pierre-Hugues Herbert and No. 8 seed Filip Krajinovic in three-set tussles before easing past qualifier Ilya Ivashka in straight sets to reach the final. • No. 9 seed Khachanov had not been able to advance past the quarter-finals on the ATP World Tour this year, falling in that round at Auckland (to Juan Martin del Potro) and Montpellier (to David Goffin). But after early- round victories here over Bemelmans and Mischa Zverev, the Russian finally reached a semi-final with a win over Julien Benneteau, and then went one further with an upset of No. 4 seed Tomas Berdych – his second win in two meetings with the Czech. Khachanov now finds himself in his first ATP World Tour singles final since he won the Chengdu title in 2016, and he has not dropped a set in the tournament so far. This week, he leads the field in aces (43), first serve points won (82.88%), and service games won (97.22%). • The doubles final will start off the day, as players who have paired up on the main tour quite recently will attempt to clinch their maiden ATP World Tour title as a team. No. 1 seeds Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus will face off against 4th-seeded Marcus Daniell and Dominic Inglot, and although these veterans have 30 doubles titles amongst the four of them, they are all in their first ATP World Tour finals as their current combinations. This is just the sixth event Daniell and Inglot have played as a duo, while this is only the fourth Tour-level tournament top-seeded Klaasen and Venus have contested together. Each team contains a player who has had success here in the very recent past: Inglot reached the final last year partnering Robin Haase, while Venus was the champion two years ago alongside Mate Pavic.
