Australian Open: Korda gives up injured: Khachanov in the semifinals

The Russian Karen Khachanov stopped the run of the ailing young US star Sebastian Korda and reached the semifinals at the Australian Open for the first time.

The Russian Karen Khachanov stopped the run of the ailing young US star Sebastian Korda and reached the semifinals at the Australian Open for the first time.

The Olympic finalist won the quarterfinal match on Tuesday after the submission of his opponent with a score of 7:6 (7:5), 6:3, 3:0.

Korda injured his right wrist and took a break from treatment in the second set when the score was 3-2. The 22-year-old was taped but the problem clearly affected him badly. Korda had won the junior title five years ago and had previously hoped for a sensational coup with the professionals with his performance. Korda’s father Petr won the Australian Open in 1998 for the Czech Republic.

“To be in the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the second time in a row feels great,” said US Open semifinalist Khachanov: “But it’s not the way you want a match to end wishes.”

On Thursday, the Russian will fight for the final ticket against number three seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas or Czech outsider Jiri Lehecka.
