Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov should like to reach Australian Open quarter-finals, his performance in the tournament is already successful, says former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov .
In the Round of 16 match, Khachanov beat Japan’s Yoshito Nishioka and in the next round he will meet American Sebastian Korda, who knocked out Daniil Medvedev from the tournament in the Round of 16.
– I already consider Karen’s performance successful. He must take advantage of this moment now, reach the quarter-finals.
Also, of course, a serious opponent. Khachanov is expected to emerge victorious from this confrontation, but it will not be easy for him. Korda is in top form, playing with enthusiasm and confidence. It all depends on how circumstances develop, it will be difficult, but anything is possible, Kafelnikov told Sport24.
Korda and Khachanov are the first pair of quarter-finalists in the current Australian Open. The 26-year-old Russian has never made it past the third round of an Australian Grand Slam before.
