Khachanov survived a five set thriller vs Borges in Round-3.
Jul 7, 2021; London, United Kingdom; Karen Khachanov (RUS) seen playing Denis Shapovalov (CAN) in the quarter finals at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
17th seed Karen Khachanov finds himself functioning on a second life, after nearly bowing out of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships in his previous round. Yet, the Russian will look to capitalise on his clutch mentality when he faces Kamil Majchrzak of Poland in the Round of 16 on Sunday. Khachanov is currently undefeated vs his counterpart on the ATP Tour.
World No. 20 Karen Khachanov has been a consistent name in the professional circuit for numerous years. The 29-year-old often finds himself in the second week of Grand Slams, but fails to make the most of it. A two-time major semifinalist, Khachanov entered Wimbledon on the back of a quarterfinal run at the Libema Open and final four finish in Halle. With a 79% service game success rate and wins over McDonald, Mochizuki and Borges, he starts this match as the favourite.
Ranked outside the Top-100, Kamil Majchrzak is an unexpected entrant into the Round of 16 at the Championships. Having previously served a doping suspension that left him feeling “pointless”, the Polish sensation’s run to a maiden Grand Slam pre-quarterfinal is nothing short of remarkable. Majchrzak earned his first tour-level main draw win since the beginning of April by beating No. 32 seed Matteo Berrettini in Round-1, and went onto defeat Quinn and Rinderknech to reach this stage.
