Recent form

Shapovalov defeated Raul Bertola in Basel on October 28, 2026 (6–4, 6–2), then lost to Taylor Fritz in the second round on October 29, without a fully readable score. Khachanov lost to Carlos Alcaraz in Vienna on October 27 (6–4, 7–6(5)); he had previously won three matches in Almaty before losing to Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals on October 23 (4–6, 7–6(5), 7–6(5)).

Khachanov is the No. 24 seed and Shapovalov is not, according to Tennis Majors. These results are insufficient to assess current fitness, fatigue, or serving and returning performance.
