Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Karen Khachanov and Francisco Cerundolo have faced each other in six previous matches. Khachanov leads the head-to-head record 6-0 against Cerundolo.

Their most recent encounter was at the ATP Masters 1000 Montreal in Canada, where Khachanov emerged victorious with a 7-6(4), 5-7, 6-3 win.

They have also met at previous tournaments such as ATP Masters 1000 Miami in the USA, ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in Monaco, ATP Masters 1000 Rome in Italy, and ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati in the USA.

Karen Khachanov, aged 28, is currently ranked 27th in the world with a career-high ranking of No. 8. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 24-18, including a title in Doha and a semifinal appearance in Beijing in 2019. He broke into the top 10 in July 2019 after finishing the 2018 season ranked No. 11.

In 2018, Khachanov achieved a notable victory at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris, defeating top-10 players Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic en route to the title. This victory marked the first time an unseeded player had won an ATP Masters 1000 event since Nalbandian in 2007.

Throughout his career, Khachanov has reached the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam tournaments, including a run to the semifinals at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he represented Team ROC and won a silver medal.

After a 23-match losing streak against top-10 players from August 2019 to March 2023, Khachanov ended the drought by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas en route to the semifinals at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Khachanov’s goal in this match is to secure consecutive wins for the first time since ATP Masters 1000 Rome in May. If he wins, it would be his seventh victory against a single player in his career, and he aims to reach his fourth quarterfinal of 2024, following his previous appearances in Marseille, Doha, and ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo.

Francisco Cerundolo, aged 26, is currently ranked 31st in the world, with a career-high ranking of No. 19. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 29-25, including a title in Umag and a second-round appearance in Beijing. Cerundolo broke into the top 100 in 2022 and achieved a career-high ranking in June 2023 after reaching the fourth round of the 2023 Roland Garros.

He made notable victories over No. 5 Ruud at the Bastad ATP Tour event and No. 8 Rublev en route to the semifinals in Hamburg in 2022, moving into the top 25. Cerundolo also became the first Argentine grass court ATP Tour champion since 1995 when he won the 2023 Eastbourne tournament.

In 2022, Cerundolo reached the semifinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Miami as the world No. 103, making him the lowest-ranked semifinalist in the history of the tournament. He was also the first player to reach the semifinals in his ATP Masters 1000 main draw debut since Janowicz in 2012 Paris.

Cerundolo comes from a tennis family, with his father Alejandro being a former professional tennis player, his younger brother Juan Manuel winning the 2021 Cordoba title, and his sister Constanza playing for the Argentine field hockey team that won gold at the 2018 Youth Olympics.

In this match, Cerundolo is aiming to reach his 21st ATP Tour quarterfinal, with his last quarterfinal appearance on hard courts being at the ATP Masters 1000 Miami in March of the previous year, where he lost to Khachanov. If Cerundolo wins, he will be the fourth Argentinian player to reach the quarterfinals in Beijing, following Nalbandian (2004-05), G. Coria (2005), and del Potro (2018).
