Casper Ruud defeated Karen Khachanov 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 — Italian Open 2026 Quarterfinal.
Casper Ruud and Karen Khachanov are level at 1–1 across 2 recorded meetings.
The decider came down to who took their chances on return, and Ruud cashed 5 of 10 break points to Khachanov's 3 of 3. The Russian's first-serve number (76%) flattered him — he won just 31% behind the second ball and dropped serve twice in the closing set. Ruud's 30 winners to 18 settled a sub-hour quarterfinal that swung wildly: a 6-1 opener, a 1-6 collapse, then a clean break in their first clay meeting.
