Alex Michelsen of the United States will tussle with Karen Khachanov of Russia, trying to push his run into the semifinal of the 2025 Canadian Open on Monday.
Michelsen secured his first quarterfinal appearance at an ATP 1000-level event after outdueling Learner Tien 6-3, 6-3 in the battle of two NextGen stars. Michelsen made the breezy win possible by surrendering one service break and capturing four breakpoint conversions against his fellow American. The win improved Michelsen’s 2025 hard-court record to 13-8 and 2025 ATP season record to 26-18.
Khachanov booked his ticket to the quarterfinal round with a 6-4 7-5 win over Casper Ruud of Norway. After staving off a spirited challenge from Emilio Nava in the previous round, the Russian displayed top-notch endurance to come out on top of another grueling match with the former US Open runner-up. Khachanov only connected 57 percent of his first serves, but still managed to win 29 points off of them, resulting in one service break.

Our Alex Michelsen vs Karen Khachanov Prediction
Fearless Forecast – Alex Michelsen repeats against Karen Khachanov.
I am taking a gamble by picking Alex Michelsen to win straight-up. Michelsen recorded his second career top-10 win in this tournament by downing No.3 seed and world’s No.10 Lorenzo Musetti of Italy 3-6 7-6(4) 6-4 in the third round. Musetti on the hard court might not be as elite as on clay courts. Nevertheless, it’s still a better win than Khachanov’s victory over Ruud, who played his fifth match since returning from an injury that sidelined him throughout the grass-court season.
Michelsen has also beaten Khachanov before, ousting him in the third round of the 2025 Australian Open, 6-3 7-6(5) 6-2. Khachanov is a veteran of many high-stakes matches, yet the stars seem aligned for Michelsen to stage a memorable run in Toronto.
