Australian Open 2023: Karen Khachanov Qualifies for Semifinals After Sebastian Korda Pulls Out Retired Hurt

News 18  

Karen Khachanov reached his second consecutive Grand Slam semi-final on Tuesday when Sebastian Korda retired hurt at the Australian Open, ending the young American’s dream of emulating his father Petr’s 1998 title run. Korda needed treatment on a wrist injury in the second set of their quarter-final before calling it quits when trailing 7-6, 6-3, 3-0 to the Russian 18th seed on Rod Laver Arena. Khachanov also had a far easier ride in the fourth round, routing Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka in straight sets while Korda slogged through a five-set thriller against Hubert Hurkacz. “I’m looking forward to the semi-finals here in Australia for the first time.” Khachanov, who reached a career-high ranking of eight in 2019, opened with a serve to love, then reeled off an easy break to go 2-0 clear with Korda’s early nerves apparent.
