Kyrgios

Karen Khachanov beat Nick Kyrgios 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-4 at the US Open to advance to his first career Grand Slam semifinal, where he will play No.

Kyrgios had a chance to break again at 4-all in the third but couldn't convert, flubbing a forehand, and then spiked his racket. After the opener, Kyrgios complained of a sore knee and was visited by a trainer. Khachanov was not allowed to play at Wimbledon this year after the All England Club banned all players from his country, Russia, and Belarus because of the invasion of Ukraine. The other came in the 2004 quarterfinals between Joachim Johansson (30) and Andy Roddick (34). The breakthrough at Wimbledon, and two recent victories over No. "I was really focused from the beginning to the end.'' I was expecting that the crowd would be more for him, that he was the favorite in their eyes,'' said the No. [Karen Khachanov](http://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/players/profile?playerId=2367) stood on the court, arms raised, basking in a rowdy crowd's cheers after reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open. Both he and Kyrgios are equipped with booming serves, and they combined for 61 aces (31 by Kyrgios). Then, for good measure, Kyrgios grabbed yet another racket out of his bag, reared back and hit that one on the sideline, too. By the end, the late-staying spectators were pulling for Kyrgios loudly. You should just run up and show up at a Grand Slam.

Nick Kyrgios's run at the US Open title came to an agonising end as Karen Khachanov edged out the Australian after five sets at Flushing Meadows.

That proved enough, so soundly did the Australian serve for the rest of the set to level the match. Khachanov saved two break points in the opening game of the third set. The Australian called for medical treatment on the niggle that was bothering him and started the second set in sharper fashion, snaring a break to lead 2-1. The first set was not quite a case of blink and you missed it. This was the type of tennis officials once feared would become commonplace until measures were put in place to slow the pace a little. And the same reach came to the fore when Khachanov, whose forehand technique resembles “The Crane” kick deployed by Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid, whipped one up the line that proved too heavy for Kyrgios to handle on set point. Kygrios had started the match a heavy favourite following his dismantling of Khachanov’s compatriot Daniil Medvedev, the defending champion. When they played at Melbourne Park in 2020, the final four sets of another thriller won by Kyrgios ended in tiebreakers. The favourite for the US Open title after the exit of Rafael Nadal, the Australian looked finally to have found his rhythm in what proved a moody yet electric quarter-final on Tuesday night at Flushing Meadows. Deep in the third set of a tight encounter at four games-all, two break points arose against the rangy Russian who played superbly to produce his career-best performance in a grand slam. On the second of those points, Kyrgios worked into position to punish a forehand. As gallant as the Australian was when edged 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-4 by Karen Khachanov at the US Open, one wonders whether such a golden chance will ever come again.

While Nick Kyrgios might not have a coach, the Australian does get plenty of help out on the court from his players' box.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Karen Khachanov stood on court, arms raised, basking in a rowdy crowd's cheers after reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal at the U.S.

Karen Khachanov of Russia needed five sets to put Kyrgios away, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4. He will play Casper Rudd of Norway in the semifinals on Friday.

In the finals he [lost in four sets to Djokovic](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/10/sports/tennis/novak-djokovic-kyrgios-wimbledon.html), who won his 21st Grand Slam singles title. The sport, and the expectations that had been placed on him when he burst onto the scene as a 19-year-old, Djokovic’s refusal to receive a vaccination for Covid-19 prevented him from entering the country to participate, and then Nadal had been eliminated in the fourth round. The victory both lit a fire in Kyrgios and also taught him how much commitment and energy playing a Grand Slam to the finish over two weeks required.

He played little during the early days of the pandemic, choosing not to travel the world to play in empty stadiums. After losing two golden chances to break Khachanov’s serve late in the third set, he smashed his racket on the ground and later smacked a television camera with his hand. Instead he fought to the bitter end, whipping forehands and pounding serves, moaning as he chased down shots against a stubborn player who managed to come up with his own big serves when needed, including on the final point, one last bomb down the middle of the court. He also kept his emotions in check, even as the crowd rallied behind Kyrgios — New York has always loved a showman — and heckled the Russian.

Karen Khachanov accède aux demi-finales d'un tournoi majeur pour la première fois de sa carrière.

L’histoire de la première manche s’est répétée pour Kyrgios en troisième manche. En fin de première manche, alors que les deux joueurs étaient à service égal, Khachanov a brisé Kyrgios grâce à un superbe point pour gagner la manche 7-5. L'Italien, qui a réussi à débreaker dans la seconde manche, certes en vain, a toutefois montré les prémices d'un renversement possible. Pour sa part, Khachanov avait eu le dessus sur Pablo Carreno Busta. Il sera opposé à la 5e tête de série Casper Ruud au prochain tour, avec à l’enjeu une place en finale du tournoi. Kyrgios n’a pas perdu de temps avant de retrouver ses esprits.

Le Russe Karen Khachanov a dompté en cinq manches l'Australien Nick Kyrgios (7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 [3], 6-4) pour se propulser en demi-finales à l'US Open, ...

Le Russe, finaliste à Adélaïde en tout début d'année - seul fait majeur de sa saison -, réussissait à contrôler un chouïa mieux les premières balles de Kyrgios et ça suffisait à empocher le troisième set. Cela faisait bien plus de bruit que pour Gauff - Garcia et Kyrgios, enfin, se révoltait un peu, tandis que Khachanov disparaissait du jeu dans le deuxième set. Pour se propulser désormais au-devant de Casper Ruud et disputer vendredi la première demi-finale de sa carrière en Grand Chelem.

US OPEN - Karen Kachanov va disputer sa toute première demi-finale de Grand Chelem. Le Russe a réussi mardi soir là où son compatriote Daniil Medvedev.

A 26 ans, il sera la tête de série la plus "basse" (n°27) à se qualifier pour les demi-finales de l'US Open depuis Kevin Anderson (n°28) en 2017. Au contraire, le Russe se montrait particulièrement costaud au moment de servir pour le match, obtenant deux balles de match avec l'aide de la bande du filet et concluant comme à la parade dès la première. Il a ainsi breaké deux fois au meilleur des moments : à 6-5 pour lui dans le 1er set comme dans le 3e set, qui a peut-être été le tournant de ce match. Mais, peut-être un peu émoussé justement par l'influx laissé ces dernières semaines, paraissant même un peu touché physiquement en début de match – on l'a vu se faire masser la cuisse à la fin du 1er set -, l'Australien a été un peu trop long à se mettre en route et a globalement été un peu trop sur courant alternatif pour mériter la victoire par rapport à son adversaire qui, lui, a été droit dans ses bottes du premier au dernier point. Mais c'était pour mieux perdre son service d'entrée de 5e set, un pécule que le "Pélican" allait se garder précieusement au fond du bec. En mettant bout à bout ces ingrédients pendant cinq sets et 3h39 d'un énorme bras du fer tout au long duquel il ne s'est jamais départi de son sérieux et de sa ligne de conduite, Karen Khachanov a fini par faire la différence face à un Nick Kyrgios qui s'est superbement battu jusqu'au bout mais qui a fini par plier, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7(3), 6-4, ce mercredi matin à New York.

Après avoir échoué en finale à Wimbledon, Nick Kyrgios a vécu mercredi son élimination en quart de finale de l'US Open comme un véritable échec.

Karen Khachanov, 31e mondial, s'est qualifié pour sa première demi-finale d'un Majeur à l'US Open, en battant 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (3/7), 6-4 l'Australien ...

Kyrgios s'est néanmoins battu pour rester dans la rencontre, remportant les deuxième et quatrième sets, après avoir cédé de la même façon le premier et le troisième, en craquant sur son service à 6-5. L'intervention du physiothérapeute lui a permis de tenir tout le match, mais sa mobilité en a manifestement pâti. Mais c'était sans compter sur Khachanov, ancien 8e mondial, notamment vainqueur à Bercy en 2018, qui pour son troisième quart d'un Majeur, après Roland-Garros en 2019 et Wimbledon l'an passé, a été d'une constance remarquable, sans refuser le bras de fer engagé par Kyrgios.

Kyrgios performed at his highest levels in the back end of the match, but the Russian was too strong in the best win of his career.
