Match Preview

Alexander Zverev will likely be among the leading contenders for success at the US Open later this year. The German has an excellent record in Grand Slam events on the hard surface, reaching the Australian Open final earlier this year and reaching at least the quarterfinal stage in each of his last four appearances at the US Open.

Zverev has been in dominant form in Canada throughout the National Bank Open. However, he was forced to raise his game in the quarterfinals after dropping the first set against Alexei Popyrin. But, the German recovered well to take the final two sets in stylish fashion.

Karen Khachanov has been a slightly frustrating player on the global stage, as he has shown glimpses of very solid form, but has also succumbed to embarrassing exits at early stages. That has been evident in Grand Slam events this year, departing in the third round in both the French and Australian Opens.

However, he has looked more assured on his return to a hard surface in Canada. The Russian has dropped just a single set on his way to this stage, and he has calmly cruised past seeded opponents in each of the last two rounds. He was solid against American Alex Michelsen in the previous round, winning 85% of the points on his first serve.
