Wrist Korda ko, Khachanov in the semifinal
- Four months after the first Grand Slam semifinal played in Flushing Meadows, the Russian Karen Khachanov also reaches the semifinal at the Australian Open thanks to the withdrawal of the American Sebastian Korda, forced to hoist the white flag, on the score by 7-6 6-3 3-0 in favor of his rival, due to a problem with his right wrist.
The injury actually occurred at the end of the fifth game of the second set, with Korda ahead 3-2.
The American called the physiotherapist but from that moment he was no longer able to hold the exchanges (especially with the forehand and return) giving up 7 consecutive games until he abandoned.
Khachanov awaits the winner between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jiri Lehecka on Friday.
