Karen Khachanov rushes to US Open semifinals by beating Nick Kyrgios.
The all odds were for Kyrgios's win after he has defeated World no. 1 Daniil Medvedev at the tournament. But then Karen Khachanov came and knocked out the Australian in a 5-set thriller - 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4.
It was possibly the most impressive match of Karen's career.
In the fifth set, Khachanov made an early break and then continued in a rapid pace through the entire set, despite Nick's huge resistance.
Karen reached the semifinals of the Grand Slam for the first time, becoming the 10th tennis player from Russia to accomplish such an achievement.
For the major final, he will compete with Casper Ruud, who is aiming at world no. 1 position at the end of the US Open.
