Australia’s own Nick Kyrgios faces off against Russia’s Karen Khachanov in the quarter-finals of the 2022 US Open. Join The Roar for live game-by-round updates from 10:00am AEDT.
Expect a fiery encounter when two of the most outspoken tennis players come together for this epic battle. With a semi-final berth on the line, a heated Twitter exchange between the players from two years ago has resurfaced, just in time to add more fuel to the fire. Kyrgios called Khachanov a “pelican” when the two argued on social media about Covid-19 protocols.
23rd-ranked Kyrgios booked his spot in the quarter-finals after causing a huge upset against the world number one Daniil Medvedev 7-6 3-6 6-3 6-2i n the fourth round. He has become one of the favorites to take out the title after Rafael Nadal was knocked out of the Open earlier this week.
Khachanov, who is ranked 27th, comes into this match off the back of a five-set win against Spain’s Pablo Carreno-Busta 4-6 6-3 6-1 4-6 6-3.
These two have faced each other just twice before, with each player taking home a win.
