Karen Khachanov has made headlines by reaching the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time since the 2023 Australian Open. After a challenging year that saw him drop to No. 50 in the rankings—his lowest position in a major since 2017—Khachanov is back on track at the US Open, showcasing impressive form despite recent setbacks.
Entering the tournament with a three-match losing streak and having exited in the third round of all previous Grand Slams this year, Khachanov’s performance in New York has been nothing short of remarkable. He achieved a stunning upset against the No. 3 seed, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and battled through a grueling five-set match against Learner Tien. Khachanov advanced further when his next opponent, Alexander Blockx, retired while trailing 6-2, 7-5, 3-2.
As he prepares to face top-seeded Alexander Zverev, Khachanov aims for a spot in his first Grand Slam final, marking a significant turnaround in his career. This resurgence not only highlights his tenacity on the court but also brings renewed hope to his fans, especially in his home country of Armenia.
