Khachanov, Goffin headline Murray River Open

Karen Khachanov and David Goffin will be the headline players at the inaugural Murray River Open, one of two ATP 250s being held in Melbourne from February 1-7.

World No. 14 Goffin and World No. 20 Khachanov are both starting the season in search of their fifth ATP title with Goffin last grabbing silverware in 2017.

Russian Khachanov won the Rolex Paris Masters in 2018.

Also in action will be rising Italian star Jannik Sinner, Delray Beach champion Hubert Hurkacz, last year’s Australian Open quarter-finalist Tennys Sandgren, Reilly Opelka and Sam Querrey.
