Karen Khachanov moved into his first Australian Open semi-final after Sebastian Korda retired with a wrist injury with the Russian leading 7-6(5), 6-3, 3-0

With no grand slam champion in sight, and a massive opportunity for those who remain in the draw, the two players stepped onto Rod Laver Arena for one of the most significant matches of their lives. From the beginning, the greater experience of Khachanov instantly stood out. While Korda started the match with a poor service game, Khachanov served brilliantly early on, conceding only one point in his first four service games.

By the beginning of the second set, it was clear that Korda’s issues with his forehand were down to more than just tension. At 3-2, Korda took a medical timeout for his right wrist, with the trainer taping over his wrist and offering him some painkillers. Khachanov continued to break down the strike and he broke his serve for a 4-3 lead.
