Karen Khachanov wants to be back in the winner's circle. The Russian is seizing the opportunity in this ATP Toronto 2025 and is already in the quarterfinals, where he will face Alex Michelsen, a newcomer at this stage. Khachanov, who already knows what it takes to win a Masters 1000 (Paris 2018), is displaying his best tennis level at the most opportune moment, when the top players are not in the title fight. There are only six players in the tournament with a higher ranking than his (Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alex De Miñaur, Andrey Rublev, and Frances Tiafoe).

The career of Karen Khachanov is far from what was promised after the surprising title at the Rolex Paris Masters 2018, but the Russian is firmly established in the ATP's top 20-30 and is always a threat against any opponent. In the ATP Toronto 2025, he is already in the quarterfinals and it seems that his motivation will not wane, as he has a golden opportunity ahead in one of his favorite tournaments. Without Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, or Novak Djokovic, Khachanov positions himself as a serious title contender on Canadian soil.

- Impressive victory against Casper Ruud

He 'eliminated' Juan Pablo Ficovich in the first round (6-4 6-2) and had a slight setback against Emilio Nava, but he resolved it decisively (6-7 6-4 6-1). In the round of 16, he had to face Casper Ruud, a top 20 player, someone Khachanov had not beaten this entire season. The numbers speak for themselves, as in the first set, the Russian won 100% of the points on his first serve, instilling fear with his serve. It remains to be seen if he can replicate this performance against Michelsen, whom he lost to at the 2025 Australian Open, the only previous encounter between them (6-3 7-6 6-2). However, a match in which Khachanov's level was far from his usual.

- Second favorite Masters 1000 event

The Toronto tournament is Khachanov's second favorite after Paris. He clinched a title in France and is also considering it in Canada. He feels very comfortable on the court, as he confirmed himself to the ATP microphones after the round of 16: "I can't complain at all about this court. I control the matches well, I'm aggressive, and my game plan works. I was a bit nervous towards the end, and he started to be very aggressive, but in the end, I managed to break his serve again and secure the victory. I can't explain why I perform well in this tournament. Most importantly, I feel very good on the court and everything is coming together perfectly, I'm very happy and will give it my all to reach the semifinals."
