Efficient first-strike tennis, along with the uncertainty surrounding Alex De Minaur’s leg injury, has made Karen Khachanov an intriguing underdog option at +100.
Current Form:
Alex De Minaur staved off an incredibly resilient Rei Sakamoto, 7-6, 6-4, to reach the round of 16 in Shanghai. De Minaur, who withdrew mid-match against Novak Djokovic in the final of the 2026 China Open, looked healthy enough to hold all his service games and capture a pivotal break-point conversion in the second set.
After surviving an upset bid from Arthur Fery, Karen Khachanov demolished Adrian Mannarino 6-2, 6-4 to reach the fourth round in Shanghai. Khachanov, semifinalist at the 2026 US Open, is 4-1 in the Asian swing of the ATP Tour.
The Matchup: De Minaur and Khachanov are 2-2 in their head-to-head series. De Minaur is the favorite at -121, but Khachanov certainly possesses the tools and experience to produce an upset here.

Our Alex De Minaur vs Karen Khachanov Prediction
Key Stats: Karen Khachanov has served efficiently in Shanghai, landing 71.3 percent of his first serves and winning 70.1 percent of these first balls with 10.5 aces per match.
What to Expect: Khachanov gets the win over De Minaur. De Minaur might have outsmarted a talented but still raw Sakamoto, but he’s not pulling off the same trick twice against a healthy and in-form Khachanov.
Aside from already having the blueprint to beat the Aussie, Khachanov will try to take advantage of the situation by imposing his physicality on De Minaur, who is obviously still not at 100 percent after the injury in Beijing.
Fearless Forecast: Karen Khachanov wins 5-7, 6-4, 6-4
