They say that lower-category tournaments tend to be quite open, and the ATP 250 in Almaty will be no exception. This Thursday, the top seed Karen Khachanov made his debut, but the Russian will have to leave Kazakhstan without victories after falling in his debut against Jan-Lennard Struff (4-6, 7-6, 6-3). The German had been competing in Challengers in recent months, which seems to have prepared him well to defeat a top-10 player after a long time. However, Daniil Medvedev did not disappoint and now emerges as the top contender for the title.
