Next - Karen Khachanov 

Rafa: “Having played him before at Roland Garros I knew that he is dangerous. His result against Kokkinakis in the first round says that he is playing great and coming from the qualies he was used to the courts. He has big shots, a good serve and has a lot of potential. Today his level was much higher than his ranking says.

As I said before the tournament, things are not going to be perfect, but every day that I spend on court, the chances to play better a higher. Things that I can improve I have to improve. Winning today allows me to practice again tomorrow, to be ready for another match. After two matches it's the moment to make a step forward."
