Now let’s take a look at some key facts about each player:
Karen Khachanov is 28 years old and currently ranked 21st in the world. He reached a career-high ranking of 8th in July 2019 after ending the 2018 season at No. 11. In 2018, he won the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title, beating several top 10 players along the way, but then experienced a 23-match losing streak against top 10 players between August 2019 and March 2023. He ended this streak by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas on his way to the semi-finals of the 2023 Miami tournament. Khachanov has reached the quarter-finals of all four Grand Slam events, with his best results being a semi-final run at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. He also earned a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
On the other hand, Daniil Medvedev is 29 years old and currently ranked 6th in the world. He reached the top spot in the rankings for a total of 16 weeks in 2022, becoming the tallest world No. 1 in history at 1.98m (6’6″). He is also the first player other than Djokovic, Federer, Murray, and Nadal to hold the No. 1 ranking since Roddick in 2004. Medvedev has reached the final of six Grand Slam tournaments, including a victory over Djokovic in the 2021 US Open final, denying Djokovic a calendar Grand Slam. He has notable wins against top-ranked players, including victories over Djokovic, Nadal, and Thiem en route to winning the 2020 Nitto ATP Finals. Medvedev has a strong record on hard courts, winning 18 of his 20 singles titles on this surface, including ATP Masters 1000 championships.
In their upcoming match, Khachanov aims to capture three consecutive wins against top 10 players for the second time in his career. He has already defeated No. 10 de Minaur in the Vienna semi-finals and No. 9 Dimitrov in the ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals last year. Medvedev, on the other hand, is looking for his first top 30 win of 2025 to move closer to becoming the second man born in 1990 or later to achieve 300 hard court wins.
The stage is set for an exciting match between these two talented Russian players.
