What Time Will Gabriel Diallo Play Against Karen Khachanov?

Diallo and Khachanov are on the Day 1 Schedule at Omnium Banque National Présenté Par Rogers 2024 on Tuesday 6 August 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

[WC] Gabriel Diallo (CAN) and [16] Karen Khachanov will be facing each other for the first time. Diallo, 22 years old, is currently ranked World No. 141, with a career-high ranking of No. 129 achieved in February 2024. In 2024, he has a Davis Cup record of 2-3 and an event record of 1-1, reaching the second round in 2023.

Diallo made his debut at the tour-level during the 2022 Davis Cup Finals against Serbia, where he lost to Djere. He secured his first ATP Tour win in front of his home crowd at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Toronto, defeating No. 21 Evans. One of the highlights of his career was defeating No. 18 Musetti at the 2023 Davis Cup Finals RR, helping Canada qualify for the finals stage. In 2024, he qualified for his first Grand Slam main draw at Roland Garros. Prior to turning pro, Diallo played for the University of Kentucky, reaching the quarter-final round at the 2022 NCAA Singles Championships.

Notably, Diallo’s two tour-level wins this season came in February during Davis Cup play against South Korea. His only win in an ATP Tour event occurred in Toronto last year, when he defeated No. 21 Evans in the first round but lost to eventual finalist de Minaur in the second round.

On the other side, Karen Khachanov is 28 years old and currently ranked World No. 22, with a career-high ranking of No. 8 achieved in July 2019. In 2024, he has a record of 21-14, including a title

win at Doha. In events, he has a record of 10-5, reaching the semi-finals in 2018 and 2019.

Khachanov made a remarkable breakthrough in 2018, upsetting top-10 players such as Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic en route to winning the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title. This victory made him the first unseeded ATP Masters 1000 champion since Nalbandian in 2007 Paris. However, he then faced a 23-match losing streak to top-10 players between August 2019 and March 2023. He ended this streak by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas at the 2023 Miami tournament, reaching his fourth ATP Masters 1000 semi-final since 2019 Montreal.

In Grand Slam events, Khachanov has reached the quarter-finals of all four, with notable runs to the semi-finals at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. He also represented Team ROC at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finishing as the No. 4 men’s player and earning a silver medal.

However, Khachanov aims to avoid his fourth consecutive loss to a player ranked 101+ after his recent defeats to player No. 145 Kovalik at Roland Garros, No. 220 Halys at Wimbledon, and No. 175 Hong in Washington. Prior to these losses, he had an impressive record of 15-1 against players ranked outside the top 100 from the beginning of 2022 until February this year. Khachanov has achieved two of his four career ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals in Canada, at the 2018 Toronto and 2019 Montreal tournaments.
