ATP Toronto 🇨🇦

Zverev A. vs Khachanov K.

🧠 Form & Context

Alexander Zverev
Masters stalwart: Into his 21st career Masters 1000 semifinal, Zverev holds a 12–8 record at this stage—including 7–2 in semis vs non–Top-10 opponents.
Focused comeback: Recovered from a poor opening set to defeat defending champ Alexei Popyrin 6–8, 6–4, 6–3 in the quarters, extending his H2H dominance to 4–0.
Pressure-tested: This marks his first Masters SF of 2025, and with top seeds out, he's the favorite—will need to manage expectations and keep his intensity high.

Karen Khachanov
Breaking barriers: Snapped a 10-match losing streak vs Top-20 players by beating Ruud in straight sets, then eased past Michelsen to reach his third Canadian Open semifinal.
Masters résumé: 2018 Paris Masters champion with 11 Top-10 Masters wins to his name—capable of elite play when confidence is flowing.
Aggressive upside: Will rely on his big serve and forehand combo to disrupt Zverev early—but must stay proactive and avoid lapses in tempo.
