Karen Khachanov recovered from a lost opening set to defeat Canada’s third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 and reach the US Open third round.
The world No. 50 broke Auger-Aliassime’s serve seven times on Louis Armstrong Stadium and saved seven of the nine break points he faced. The victory marked only his second Grand Slam win over a top-10 opponent.
Auger-Aliassime started strongly, taking a 3-0 lead in the first set, but a series of errors allowed Khachanov back into the contest. The Canadian eventually won the tiebreak, but Khachanov took control in the second set and never surrendered it.
The Russian cruised through the third set and opened the fourth with a 4-0 lead. He completed the win with a powerful serve that Auger-Aliassime could not return. Khachanov, a 2022 US Open semifinalist, will next play either France’s Benjamin Bonzi or Peru’s 32nd seed Ignacio Buse.
