After ATP Cup, Medvedvev, Khachanov Headed To Auckland; All You Need To Know

Daniil Medvedev and Karen Khachanov have been unbeatable to start the 2020 ATP Tour season, going a combined 8-0 in singles action at the inaugural ATP Cup to carry Team Russia into the semi-finals. The two 23-year-olds, who will go up against either Team Serbia or Team Canada on Friday for a place in the final, will look to continue their success next week at the ASB Classic in Auckland. 

World No. 5 Medvedev is set to be the top seed in his first appearance at this ATP 250 tournament. Khachanov returns for the third time, and reached the quarter-finals on his most recent visit in 2018 (l. to Del Potro).

The 2020 field includes three other Top 20 players: Italian Fabio Fognini, Canada’s Denis Shapovalov and American John Isner, a two-time champion in Auckland (2010, 2014). Hubert Hurkacz, who went 3-0 for Team Poland with wins over Dominic Thiem, Borna Coric and Diego Schwartzman at the ATP Cup, will look to maintain his perfect start to the season.
