Alexander Zverev defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7(9)-6(7), 7(8)-6(6) — US Open 2026 Semifinal.
Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov: Alexander Zverev leads 5–1 across 6 recorded meetings.
The break Zverev took in the opening game of the second set was gone by game 4, when Khachanov broke back for 2-2, and the No. 1 seed didn't break again. He earned three break points in nearly three hours, so the tiebreaks settled the rest, and 15 aces against six were the edge there. Khachanov, ranked 49th, won 81 percent of his first-serve points to Zverev's 79, held his third-set unforced errors to seven against 13 and saved a match point; he still finished two points down, 104 to 106. Two hours 57 minutes in, Zverev is into the US Open final, his third major final of 2026 after the French Open title and the Wimbledon runner-up.
