Among Chinese players to reach ATP Tour quarter-finals in the Open Era, Zhang Zhizhen leads with nine appearances,
followed by Shang Juncheng with three, Yibing Wu with two, and Zhang Ze and Pan Bing with one each.
On the other side, we have Karen Khachanov, aged 28, currently ranked No. 23 in the world, with a career-high ranking of No. 8. In 2024, he has a record of 23-17, including a title in Doha. Throughout his career, he has a record of 267-196 and has won six titles.
Khachanov broke into the Top 10 and achieved his career-high ranking in July 2019 after finishing the 2018 season at No. 11. He secured impressive wins over top-10 players such as Isner, A. Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic on his way to winning the 2018 ATP Masters 1000 Paris title. However, he then suffered a 23-match losing streak against top-10 players from August 2019 to March 2023.

Khachanov represented Team ROC as the No. 4 men’s player at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he won the silver medal in 2021.
Khachanov is aiming for his 56th tour-level quarter-final, his 38th on hard courts, and his fourth in 2024. He recently won the Doha title and reached the semi-finals in Marseille and the quarter-finals of the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo. Last year, he also captured his 5th of 6 career ATP Tour titles in Zhuhai, although the tournament has since been relocated to Hangzhou.
