Aussie impulsiveness Nika Kiriosa woke up in Karen Khachanov sporting anger and excitement that helped the Russian tennis player win the US Open quarter-finals, commentator Anna Dmitrieva told .
The match, which took place on Wednesday, lasted 3 hours 41 minutes and ended with the score of 7:5, 4:6, 7:5, 6:7 (3:7), 6:4 in favor of the representative of Russia. Khachanov’s next opponent at the US Open will be Kasper Ruud from Norway.
“Karen now has a positive result in encounters with Kirios,” Dmitrieva told . – Perhaps, unlike many other strong tennis players, he has a small key to this Australian’s game. In addition, Karen, always with his excellent technique, with an excellent classic game on the back line, a good service, lacks a bit of character to put pressure on a strong opponent with whom he fights.
But Kirios, I think, with his demeanor, his temper and his irritants, gave Karen the excitement she lacked. Maybe even aroused some anger. This helped Khachanov to show all the arsenal of his abilities and his very good tennis. In the end, he served his crown with aces. He made 30, only one less than the winner of all Kyrios aces. And that helped him earn his serve and keep him safe. He fought for every point, in general, was on top. I am very happy for Karen.
– In the semi-finals, Khachanov will now play with Ruud. Is this opponent lighter or heavier than Kyrios?
– After such a frenetic take off, it is very difficult to find peace of mind. I don’t know how Karen will fall asleep after a game like this. And there is not much time to recover. Ruud is the exact opposite of Kyrios. He is cold-blooded, he is in control, a true Nordic athlete. With his convincing victory over Berrettini he showed that he was in good shape. Let’s encourage Karen! I wish it didn’t stop there.
Khachanov, 26, reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. His next opponent at the US Open will be Norwegian Kasper Ruud.
