Alexander Zverev vs. Karen Khachanov odds, prediction: ATP Toronto tennis picks
Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov will meet in the semifinals of the 2025 Canadian Masters on Wednesday evening.
Zverev, the No. 1 seed because Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner skipped the event, is a -250 favorite to defeat Khachanov, who is looking for his first Masters 1000 title since 2018.
Zverev owns a 5-2 advantage over Khachanov in their career head-to-head, and he is 3-1 against the Russian on outdoor hard surfaces.

| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Alexander Zverev | -250 |
| Karen Khachanov | +200 |
Perhaps it’s unfair to compare anybody to Sinner and Alcaraz, but given Zverev’s status as the No. 1 overall seed in this field, you’d like to have seen things go a little smoother for him to get to this point in the tournament, especially since he was coming off back-to-back losses before getting to Canada.
Zverev has dropped the first set in two of his last three matches, and the other contest saw his opponent, Francisco Cerundolo, retire early.
A win is a win, but when you’re deciding on whether to back the tournament favorite at this kind of price, you’d want to see a more dominant performance.
It’s especially worrisome against a player like Khachanov, who can punish you in a number of ways. Not only does he have elite endurance, but he’s a crafty player who can throw you off your rhythm quickly.
Khachanov also comes into this match in top form, having won four in a row and 11 of his last 13 matches, with his only defeats coming at the hands of Taylor Fritz and Alexander Bublik on the grass.
Both Fritz and Bublik are as hot as any player on the planet right now, and they are both terrors on the lawn.
Khachanov has struggled in this head-to-head and he hasn’t won against a top-10 opponent in 2025, but his form makes him worth a shot on Wednesday night.
The Play: Khachanov +200 (bet365)
