Karen Khachanov outlasted Nick Kyrgios at the US Open securing a semi-final and he was really proud of it.
It was as superb win for Khachanov who overcame 31 aces from Kyrgios and very vocal support for the ustralian to win the 5-setter after almost four hours of play. He was very excited after the match exclaiming:
"I did it! I did it!. I'm really proud of myself, I was focused from the beginning to the end.
It was a crazy match but I came ready to fight and to play five sets."
He further added:
“From the beginning until the end, great performance - at least I will talk about myself, from my side. I stayed there. I waited for my chances. I created them as well. I'm super happy, super proud that I could finish the match, I could take it. Serving for the match [is] never easy. [I am] just super happy to do this step forward to make my first semi-final.”

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
