Earlier it was announced the withdrawal of Khachanov’s opponent in the first round match, Briton Andy Murray (former world number one). Then we learned that the German Daniel Altmaier (52nd racket in the world) would play the role of a lucky loser, supposed to play with Popyrin after Khachanov refused to participate.
Popyrin lost in the last Masters qualifying match to Australian Max Purcell (7:6 (8:6), 5:7, 4:6).
Popyrin and Altmayer had not previously met on the pitch.
