Olkhovsky summed up Khachanov’s performance at the Australian Open

Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov looked solid at the Australian Open, says Andrei Olkhovsky, a two-time Grand Slam winner in mixed doubles.

In the semi-finals, 26-year-old Khachanov lost to the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas with a score of 6:7 (2:7), 4:6, 7:6 (8:6), 3:6. For the Russian, this is the first semi-final of the Australian Open in his career and the second in a row at the Grand Slam tournaments.

– First of all, I would like to note the successful performance of Karen at the Australian Open. It cannot be said that he lacked something for a more successful result. Until the semi-finals, he played very solidly and well, he looked especially great in the quarter-finals. And in the match with Tsitsipas, I won’t say that Khachanov didn’t show good tennis. He showed not the best game, but good enough. Perhaps a little lacking in length and stiffness with which Karen can play. In recent matches, we are used to seeing him like that. And you have to give credit to Tsitsipas. He attacked at every opportunity, and it brought him a lot of points,” Olkhovsky told Vprognoze.ru.
