Khachanov powers past Carreno Busta to reach Olympic final

The Hindu  

Russian Karen Khachanov set up an Olympic men's singles final against either Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev by overpowering Pablo Carreno Busta in the last four on Friday. The 12th seed, a former top-10 player who has struggled for consistency in the last three seasons, produced an impressive display in Tokyo to dispatch Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-3. Khachanov started strongly and took control with a break in the fifth game before capping an excellent first set with another in game nine, hitting 10 winners and making just four unforced errors. The 25-year-old wrapped up victory on his first match point with another booming groundstroke past a stranded Carreno Busta.
