Khachanov goes from strength to strength to reach the semi-finals in Vienna
Is Karen Khachanov back to his best tennis?
After many weeks of winning very few matches, the Russian has now won his 7th in a row.
Already crowned champion in Almaty last week, the 28-year-old perfectly dominated Matteo Berrettini in the quarter-finals of the Vienna tournament (6-1, 6-4 in 1h18).
Khachanov, who had already beaten Tiafoe in the Round of 16, never really let his opponent breathe, exerting constant pressure, particularly on the return.
He will now face the winner of the duel between Jakub Mensik and Alex De Minaur in the semi-finals.
