Tennis. US Open. Semi final. Khachanov – Ruud. Direct
On the evening of Friday, September 9, Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov will hold a historic match for himself. For the first time in her career, Karen will play in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournaments. The Russian’s opponent will be 23-year-old Norwegian Kasper Ruud, who is set to become the world’s No. 1 racket according to US Open results. In general, motivation will go off the scale for both tennis players.
Khachanov and Ruud have never met in person. The tennis players had their only one-on-one match in the first round of the 2020 Rome Masters, which is played on clay. The Norwegian won this match in three sets – 6:3, 3:6, 6:1. Interestingly, Kasper was then ranked 30th in the ATP rankings and Karen 16th. In two years, Ruud has reached the top 3, and if he wins today, he can even become world No. 1. But Khachanov, since the days of the Roman duel, managed to fall into the fourth ten, and now he is back in the top 20.
If we remember the course of the two tournament tennis players at the current US Open, the Russian, of course, was more difficult. Suffice it to say, Karen’s last two matches have come in five sets. First, Khachanov dominated one of the best Spaniards today – Pablo Carreno-Busta (14th racket in the world at the moment), after which he beat the strongest Australian Nick Kyrgios, who brought out our Daniil Medvedev from the net.
Kasper Ruud had only one serious opponent on the way to the semi-finals, in the person of the Italian Matteo Berrettini. And even the one who has not been in his best form for a long time and only enters the court in big tournaments, although he is still in the top 20. However, now Berrettini is clearly not a player of the second ten in terms of level of play. The tournament grid therefore favored the Norwegian, and he arrived in the 1/2 final almost without a fight. However, this fact does not detract from Ruud’s dignity. Casper is in great shape right now. And in general, he is spending the current season at a very high level. In 2022, the Norwegian has already won three titles and reached the Roland Garros final.
