The two have met once before, in the Rennes Challenger in September 2021, with Safiullin winning 6-2, 4-6, 6-1.

The 25 year old Russian, who won the boys' singles at the Australian Open in 2015, is currently ranked No. 93 (career high No. 92), having started the year as No. 167.  He distinguished himself by playing for Russia in the ATP Cup in Sydney alongside Daniil Medvedev, having been drafted in at the last minute after Andrey Rublev and Aslan Karatsev succumbed to covid.  Against all expectations the depleted Russian team reached the semi-finals with Safiullin winning his two singles matches, the first against France's Arthur Rinderknech and the next against Australia's James Duckworth, an achievement which saw his ranking rise 21 places  to No. 146.

His most notable performance on the Tour so far this season has been reaching two ATP 250 semifinals.  The first of these came at the Open 13 in Marseille, where he beat Alexei Popyrin, Tomas Machac and Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing 6-7(4-7), 6-7(5-7) to Felix Auger-Aliassime.   His second came at the Tel Aviv Open at the beginning of this month when he defeated Hugo Grenier, Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Arthur Rinderknech before his run was ended by eventual champion Novak Djokovic to whom he lost 1-6, 6-7(3-7).  He then moved on to the Florence Open but failed to qualify.  In the qualifiers here he defeated first Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5, 6-1, then Jaume Munar 6-4, 6-3.

Nice information! helped a lot to understand the match...

Saw only the first 3 games. Agree with the untipical errors even in the first games.

Like the picture!!

Andy plays Jaume Munar in round 1, with the possible prospect of the No. 8 seed Yoshihito Nishioka in round 2 and the No. 4 seed Karen Khachanov in the QF, either that or an instant rematch with Sebastian Korda.

The other British interest is Dan Evans, who's seeded No. 5, and Jack Draper.

True. Hoped to watch him play this week, but I think this is the best thing to do right know.

Cachin doesn't look like a clay court specialist. Good serve!

I don't think he's got one right now, and Lendl vanished after the US Open.

thx.
haven't seen his box yet...

a long first 8 games-set

Just pop in. Who is Andy's coach?

Pedro Cachin is a 27 year old Argentinian player currently ranked at a career high of No. 61, who has played mainly on the Challenger Tour.  Cachin, who ended 2021 ranked No. 250, added former world No. 2 Alex Corretja to his coaching team at the start of the year, and as a result has had his best season so far, having reached seven Challenger finals and winning four of them, all of them on clay.  Although he failed to qualify for the Australian Open and Wimbledon, he did qualify as a lucky loser for the French Open where he defeated Norbet Gombos in round 1 before exiting in straight sets to Hugo Gaston in the next round.  At the US Open, Cachin entered the main draw as a direct entry and defeated both Aljaz Bedene and wildcard Brandon Holt in five sets, with both fifth sets going to a super tiebreak, but then lost to Corentin Moutet in four.  He didn't play again until the Lisbon Challenger nearly four weeks later, where he was defeated in three by Gastao Elias in his opening match.  In round 1 here he saw off qualifier world No. 279 Alexey Vatutin 7-6(7-2), 6-0.

Nice read. Now I know why I don't know him despite his current rating.

Interview with Andy during the match Tsitsipas - Tiafoe: He revealed that the kids came to see him for the first time live. Question from the interviewer: Were they happy? Answer: (smiling) The little one was a bit sad that he lost. Cute!

So cute!
