Best Grand Slam Matches Of 2020

2) Nick Kyrgios d. Karen Khachanov, Australian Open, R3, 25 January 2020

Nick Kyrgios started the 2020 season with a clean slate, characterising himself as a “new and improved” Nick. Already a fan favourite Down Under, he became a legend by spearheading relief efforts to combat the awful bushfires that devastated Australia in the lead up to the tournament. Even before he entered Melbourne Arena for his clash against Karen Khachanov—then ranked nine spots above him at No. 17 in the FedEx ATP Rankings—the well-lubricated evening crowd was ready for a party, singing Sweet Caroline in unison. Little did they know that they should have been pacing themselves, as they were in a four tie-break, four-hour, 26-minute clash for the ages.

It all started innocently enough, if a Kyrgios match can ever be labelled as such, with Nick taking the first two sets 6-2, 7-6(5). The combustible Aussie, dressed in a fluorescent kit and on his best behaviour, raced out to a 4-2 lead in the third set, and it appeared as though he was off to the races for a highly anticipated fourth-round showdown with Rafael Nadal. But the Russian masher, as it turned out, was just getting warmed up. He broke back at love in the seventh game, then fended off a match point in the third-set tie-break before sending the match to a fourth set.

The Russian saved another match point in the fourth-set tie-break at 6/7, and he sent the match into a fifth set three points later as a Kyrgios backhand sailed just wide. Of course, the match went to yet another tie-break (this time a first-to-10 Match Tie-Break), and Nick converted his third match point, more than two hours after his first.

The crowd had seemingly willed the gutted Kyrgios to victory and when Khachanov’s final backhand sailed wide, they went ballistic as the Canberra native dropped his racquet, fell to the ground and then laid flat on his back for a spell before staggering to his feet to celebrate the win. It may have been a “new and improved” Nick, but in many ways, it was vintage King Kyrgios stuff on the court—under-arm, and fake under-arm serves, drop shots aplenty, and dozens of impossible winners.

“It’s emotional,” Kyrgios said after his 6-2, 7-6(5), 6-7(6), 6-7(7), 7-6(8) win. “That’s definitely one of my best wins of my career, I think…This is just epic man, I don’t even know what’s going on. Honestly my legs feel about 40kg each. I was losing it mentally a little bit… I thought I was going to lose, honestly.”

Tenis. Rozczarowujący sezon Matteo Berrettiniego. Włoch wskazał przyczyny niepowodzeń
Pod koniec listopada Karen Chaczanow poinformował, że on oraz jego żona i syn mieli pozytywny wynik testu na koronawirusa. Rosjanin przerwał przygotowania do nowego sezonu i wraz z całą rodziną poddał się izolacji.
Nieco ponad tydzień po wiadomości o zakażeniu Chaczanow przekazał kolejne wieści - tym razem dobre. Wyjawił, że wraca do zdrowia i na początku przyszłego tygodnia chciałby wznowić treningi.


"Jeszcze kilka dni i nasza kwarantanna dobiegnie końca. Moja rodzina i ja czujemy się dobrze. Mam nadzieję, że w poniedziałek powoli znów zacznę pracować i przygotowywać się do sezonu 2021" - napisał na Twitterze.

24-letni Chaczanow aktualnie zajmuje 20. miejsce w rankingu ATP. Najwyżej, w lipcu zeszłego roku, był ósmy. W karierze zdobył cztery tytuły w głównym cyklu, w tym jeden rangi Masters 1000 - przed dwoma laty w Paryżu.

Khachanov-Anderson Clash Leads Packed Friday Schedule At Great Ocean Road Open

Spoiler:

All singles third-round and quarter-final matches to be completed on Friday

Sixteen players remain in the hunt for the Great Ocean Road Open singles trophy. By the end of play on Friday, only four will remain.

Following the suspension of play on Thursday, both the third round and the quarter-finals of the singles draw will take place at Melbourne Park on Friday.

Six of the top eight seeds are still standing at the Great Ocean Road Open, including second seed Karen Khachanov. The Russian, chasing his fifth ATP Tour crown, will meet Kevin Anderson in one of the standout matches of the day at the ATP 250.

Khachanov and Anderson both recorded their first victories of the year on Wednesday. Second seed Khachanov overcame Aussie wild card Max Purcell 7-6(5), 6-3, while Anderson charged past Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6-4, 6-2 in 57 minutes.

How To Watch

Anderson won his only previous ATP Head2Head clash against Khachanov in three sets at the 2018 Miami Open presented by Itau. The winner of the pair's second encounter will face sixth seed Reilly Opelka or Botic Van de Zandschulp later in the day.

Third seed Hubert Hurkacz will continue his pursuit of a second ATP Tour trophy of 2021 on Friday. The Delray Beach champion will meet Pablo Cuevas in the third round. Antalya runner-up Alexander Bublik or Stefano Travaglia awaits the winner in the quarter-finals.

In the top quarter of the draw, #NextGenATP Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz will attempt to reach his maiden ATP Tour semi-final. The 17-year-old, who defeated top seed David Goffin in the second round, will meet Thiago Monteiro for a place in the quarter-finals. If Alcaraz can get through that match, he will face 11th seed Jordan Thompson or Mario Vilella Martinez for a place in the last four.

Fourth seed Jannik Sinner will continue his title bid against Aljaz Bedene. Both men will be attempting to book a quarter-final clash againt seventh seed Miomir Kecmanovic or Salvatore Caruso.

Doubles Second Round To Be Completed Friday
The six remaining doubles second-round matches will also feature on Friday’s schedule at the Great Ocean Road Open. Top seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah will begin their 2021 campaign against Purcell and Thompson.

Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek will make their first appearance since their run to the Antalya Open final last month (l. to Mektic/Pavic). The third seeds will face alternates Roberto Carballes Baena and Cuevas for a spot in the quarter-finals.

Fifth seeds Marcus Daniell/Michael Venus, sixth seeds Marcelo Arevalo/Matwe Middelkoop, seventh seeds Luke Bambridge/Dominic Inglot and eighth seeds Bublik/Andrey Golubev will also make their first appearances at the ATP 250 on Friday.

Khachanov Powers Past Anderson, Opelka Upset

Spoiler:

The Russian is now 1-1 in his ATP Head2Head series with the former World No. 5
There was a battle of big bangers on Court 5 at Melbourne Park Friday, but only one was able to advance.

Second seed Karen Khachanov battled past former World No. 5 Kevin Anderson 6-3, 7-6(5) to reach the quarter-finals of the Great Ocean Road Open.

Khachanov won 82 per cent of his first-serve points and saved all five break points he faced to advance after one hour and 38 minutes. There was only one service break in the match, and that came against the 6'8" Anderson in the first set.

The South African had won the pair's only previous ATP Head2Head meeting at the Miami Open presented by Itau in 2018. At that point, Anderson was entrenched in the Top 10, and Khachanov was fresh off his appearance at the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals in 2017.

How To Watch

Khachanov lost three of his final four matches of the 2020 season, but he is off to a quick start in 2021, claiming both of his victories in the Great Ocean Road Open in straight sets. Anderson is currently World No. 82, and he is battling back into form after struggling with injuries over the past two seasons.

Khachanov will play Botic Van de Zandschulp for a spot in the semi-finals. The Dutchman upset big-serving American Reilly Opelka, the sixth seed, 7-6(6), 7-6(4) after one hour and 46 minutes.

Van de Zandschulp, the World No. 159, began the week with zero tour-level wins. Now the 25-year-old has three, and he has only lost one set. The unseeded player won 92 per cent of his first-serve points, dropping only four points behind his first delivery.

Did You Know?
All third-round singles winners on Friday at Melbourne Park will play their quarter-final match later in the day.
