Russian Karen Khachanov private an american Sebastien Kordu initiatives and logically went further at the Australian Open, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation told KP Sport Shamil Tarpishchev .
In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Khachanov met Korda, who refused to fight in the third set with the score 7:6 (6:3), 6:3, 3:0 in favor of the Russian . Thus, the 26-year-old Moscow native qualified for the second consecutive time in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournament, the previous one being the US Open‑2022.
– Khachanov at the Australian Open beat the American Korda, who withdrew in the third set due to a hand injury …
– Well, what kind of injury? Before that, Karen won two sets. One and a half of them he still had an advantage, served a little better, received better. He didn’t let the opponent play in position. Because if Korda had played on the court, he would have broken, but Karen deprived him of the initiative due to the density of the game. That is to say, Korda was forced to take risks with long bullets…… So it makes sense that Khachanov went further, he still had an advantage.
