After a five-sentence thriller: Nick Kyrgios is out

Nick Kyrgios grabbed his bags and left the Arthur Ashe Stadium in frustration: The Australian tennis star missed the semi-finals in a five-set thriller at the US Open in New York. Two days after his outstanding win against Medvedev, Kyrgios had to admit defeat to the Russian Karen Khachanov 3:39, 5:7, 6:4, 5:7 (7:6) and 7:3 after 4:6 hours. During the game, Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios, who made too many mistakes, had his calf treated. “I did it,” said Khachanov, visibly proud of reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal. There he will meet Norwegian Casper Ruud on Friday. Ruud, seeded number five, had previously defeated the Italian Matteo Berrettini in three sets 6:1, 6:4, 7:6 (7:4). and became the first Norwegian in tournament history to qualify for the round of the best four players. If he makes it to the final, Ruud could take over number one in the world rankings from the Russian Medvedev after the event. South Tyrol's tennis hope, Jannik Sinner, will fight for a semi-final ticket next night in the duel of mega talents with Carlos Alcaraz. The man from Sexten recently defeated surprise man Ilya Ivashka in five sets. Women's semi-finals have been decided The first semi-final pairing for women has also been determined: Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur will face Carolina Garcia on Thursday. The Frenchwoman Garcia showed an outstanding performance in the 6:3, 6:4 against US young star Coco Gauff (18). The Tunisian Jabeur prevailed 6:4, 7:6 (7:4) against Ajla Tomljanovic from Australia, who had knocked Serena Williams out of the competition in the third round. “I didn’t play at the level I needed to win,” said Gauff, who still looked back on the tournament with great satisfaction: “Overall, I’m super proud of myself. But I’m also hungry for more.”
