Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Karen Khachanov and Alexei Popyrin faced each other four times, with Khachanov leading the head-to-head 3-1.
They first played in Dubai, where Khachanov won a hard-fought match 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(4). They met again in Rotterdam, with Khachanov coming out on top once again, this time winning 6-7(4), 6-1, 7-6(6).

Karen Khachanov, aged 28, is currently ranked 21st in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of 8th in July 2019, after ending the 2018 season at No. 11. In 2018, Khachanov had a remarkable run at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris, where he upset several top-10 players, including Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic, en route to winning the title. However, he then went on a 23-match losing streak against top-10 players from August 2019 to March 2023, before defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas at the 2023 Miami Masters. Khachanov also reached the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events, with his best runs being to the semifinals of the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open. He also represented Team ROC in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he earned a silver medal.

Alexei Popyrin, aged 25, is currently ranked 24th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 23rd achieved in August 2024. His breakthrough moment came at the 2024 Montreal Masters, where he saved three match points against Dimitrov and went on to win the title, becoming the first Australian to win an ATP Masters 1000 title since Hewitt in 2003. Popyrin also had notable victories over top players, including a win over 4-time champion Djokovic at the 2024 US Open. He reached his first ATP Tour semifinal and won his first title at the 2021 Singapore Open and went on to win his second title at the 2023 Umag Open, defeating former champion Wawrinka in the final. In 2019, Popyrin qualified for tour-level events 10 times, tying the single-season record set by M. Zverev in 2016. In his junior career, he peaked at No. 2 in the rankings and won the 2017 Roland Garros boys’ singles title.

In their recent performances, Khachanov saved a match point against O’Connell in the first round and has a record of 10-1 in the past three weeks, including winning the Almaty title and reaching the Vienna final (lost to Draper). He is one of the two former champions left in the draw, along with Rune, and is aiming to reach his 9th ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal, his second of 2024 (after Monte-Carlo), and his first on hard courts since Paris last year. On the other hand, Popyrin earned his third win over a top-5 player by defeating Medvedev in the second round and is seeking his third ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal after his previous appearances at the 2023 Cincinnati as a lucky loser (lost to Hurkacz) and his title-winning run at the 2024 Montreal Masters, where he defeated Rublev in the final.
