What Time Will Karen Khachanov Play Against Brandon Nakashima?
Khachanov and Nakashima are on the Day 7 Schedule at Cincinnati Open 2025 on Wednesday 13 August 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In the upcoming match at the Vienna Open, Karen Khachanov will face Brandon Nakashima, with Khachanov leading the head-to-head 1-0. Khachanov, aged 29 and ranked World No. 12, achieved a career-high ranking of No. 8. In 2025, he reached the finals in Toronto and had a 11-7 record at Cincinnati, reaching the 4th round.
Khachanov broke into the Top 10 in July 2019 after finishing the 2018 season at No. 11. He previously upset Top-10 players such as Isner, Zverev, Thiem, and Djokovic en route to winning the 2018 ATP Masters 1000 Paris title. However, he then experienced a 23-match losing streak against the Top 10 from August 2019 to March 2023, which he ended by defeating No. 3 Tsitsipas at the 2023 Miami tournament.
At the 2018 Paris tournament, Khachanov became the first unseeded ATP Masters 1000 champion since Nalbandian in 2007. In 2025, he saved match points against No. 3 Zverev to reach the Toronto final, more than six years after his Paris title, marking the biggest gap between ATP Masters 1000 finals in series history. He has also reached the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam events, with notable runs at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open.
Khachanov is aiming for his 11th ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal, his first in Cincinnati, to reach the last 8 stage at his 7th of 9 events at this level. He looks to achieve 30 wins in a season for the 7th time in the last 8 years (20 wins in 2020) and has a 3-21 record against the Top-3 players, including saving match points to defeat Zverev in the Toronto semifinals last week. Currently ranked No. 10 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings, he seeks a return to the Top 10 for the first time since June 2023.
In terms of his performance at ATP Masters 1000 events, Khachanov’s best results include reaching the final in Toronto in 2025, the semifinals in Miami in 2023, and winning the title in Paris in 2018, among others. Khachanov will be playing on Court 3 in Vienna.
