The Swiss Roger Federer won this Tuesday, by 6-3 and 7-6 (8), the Russian Karen Khachanov in his second match in the Hopman Cup, the tournament of tennis by mixed teams that until January 6 is disputed in Perth (Australia).
As he did in his debut against the Japanese Yuichi Sugita, the Helvetian resolved in two rounds, although he did not have it easy against a rival who put him in the odd predicament. However, at key moments Federer brought out his quality and precision.
In this way he gave Switzerland the first point of the second match of the tournament. Then her compatriot Belinda Bencic will face the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and then double will be played.
In their first match, Switzerland beat Japan 3-0, putting them at the top of group B.
The night session of the Hopman Cup had 13,943 fans in the stands, a record for the tournament, the organization reported.
The other match of the day, between the United States and Japan, was marked by injuries. Naomi Osaka could not play due to illness, which gave the victory to the North American team.
The organization decided to have instead the young Australian Maddison Inglis, who was beaten by the American CoCo Vandeweghe 7-5 and 6-2.
In the men’s singles, Yuichi Sugita was dominating 7-6 (1) and 1-1 when Jack Sock was forced to leave.
In this way, a doubles match was organized with the Inglis-Sugita and Vandeweghe-Pat Cash couples in which the first was imposed by 0-4, 4-3 and 4-0. EFE
