Zverev defeats Khachanov to reach US Open final in the United States
German tennis player Alexander Zverev reached the US Open final in New York, United States, after defeating Karen Khachanov in the semifinal 6:3, 7:6 (9:7), 7:6 (8:6). In the decisive match, he will play against an American — Frances Tiafoe or Ben Shelton.
Four victories without dropping a set
In the first two rounds of the tournament, Zverev played five sets each. After that, he secured four consecutive victories without losing a single set and came within one step of his second Grand Slam title.
As Channel NewsAsia reports, the tennis player doubted his prospects at the beginning of the US Open, but is now preparing for Sunday’s final.

Second final in New York
This will be Zverev’s second US Open final in his career. In 2020, he lost to Dominic Thiem, although he was two points away from his first Grand Slam title. That tournament was held without spectators because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Zverev, over six years he has gained experience through a series of Grand Slam tournament finals and also won his first such title at Roland Garros this year. The current final will take place at a sold-out Arthur Ashe Stadium, and the tennis player has a positive attitude toward playing with loud and energetic support from the stands, if it is fair.
