Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov looked solid at the Australian Open, says two-time mixed doubles Grand Slam winner Andrey Olkhovsky.
In the semifinals, 26-year-old Khachanov lost to Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas with the score 6:7 (2:7), 4:6, 7:6 (8:6), 3:6. For the Russian, this is the first Australian Open semi-final of his career and the second consecutive Grand Slam tournaments.
– First of all, I would like to highlight Karen’s successful performance at the Australian Open. We can not say that it lacked something for a more successful result. Until the semi-finals he played very solidly and well, he was particularly handsome in the quarter-finals. And in the match against Tsitsipas, I will not say that Khachanov did not show good tennis. He didn’t show the best game, but good enough. Maybe lacks a bit of length and stiffness that Karen can play with. In the last matches, we are used to seeing him like that. And you have to give Tsitsipas credit. He attacked at every opportunity and it brought him a lot of points,” Olkhovsky told Vprognoze.ru.
