Australian Open: 20-year-old Alex Michelsen beats No 19 seed Karen Khachanov

Deccan Chronicle  

Melbourne: Alex Michelson joked that he was too busy at the Australian Open on Saturday morning to have a lengthy phone conversation with his mother back home in California. “I'm going to sit back on the couch and watch tonight and see what happens,” Michelsen said. He is the second-youngest man from the United States since Andy Roddick in 2003 to get this far at the Australian Open — two years ago, Ben Shelton was about 1 1/2 months younger than Michelsen is now. Michelsen, who is coached by 2005 U.S. Open semifinalist Robby Ginepri, converted all four break points he earned against the big-serving Khachanov and compiled an impressive 39 winners to 27 unforced errors.
