We break down the key details for the upcoming US Open semifinal clash between Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov.
Alexander "Sascha" Zverev is steadily advancing toward what could be his second US Open final, and it seems he's gaining momentum with each round. After tough five-set battles against Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in the first round and France's Quentin Halys in the second, Zverev has found his rhythm. He has since dispatched his next three opponents—Alejandro Tabilo, Luciano Darderi, and Botic van de Zandschulp—in straight sets.
The German is in formidable form. Having already secured his first Grand Slam title at the French Open a few months ago, he also made a deep run to the semifinals at the Australian Open and was only stopped by eventual champion Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon.
Given Zverev's current dominance, Karen Khachanov faces a monumental challenge to reach what would be his first-ever Grand Slam final. However, the Russian should not be underestimated. During this tournament, he has already caused a significant upset by eliminating the No. 3 seed, Félix Auger-Aliassime, among others.
