4 Oct
Summary
- Karen Khachanov remains unbroken on serve this week.
- Hubert Hurkacz reached the quarterfinals after three-set wins.
- Khachanov leads their head-to-head rivalry 1-0.
Karen Khachanov and Hubert Hurkacz are scheduled to compete in the China Open quarterfinals on October 4, 2026. Khachanov has demonstrated exceptional serving, not facing a single break point throughout the tournament. This resilience appears to stem from his recent semifinal appearance at the US Open.
Khachanov has advanced to the China Open quarterfinals for the third time in his career. He holds a 14-11 record on hardcourts this season, with a significant portion of his wins occurring recently.
In contrast, Hurkacz has had a more challenging path to this stage, requiring three sets in his previous matches. Despite facing break point opportunities, he successfully saved all five. He recently finished as runner-up at the Chengdu Open and holds a 15-11 record on hardcourts this year.
This upcoming match is their first meeting in seven years. Khachanov leads their head-to-head rivalry 1-0, having won their prior encounter in straight sets.
