The Greek won the first set confidently 6-2. The match lasted two hours and 23 minutes in three sets and the tie-break in the second game was decisive. In the 1/8 finals, the Frenchman defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas, one of the main contenders for the title in Tokyo. Umber has already become a high-profile sensation at an Olympic tennis tournament. You can feel the 10-degree difference quietly. There's good lighting, yes, it will be just as sweltering and hot in the evening, but it won't be that sunshine. I don't see any reason why you can't start games at 4 or 5 p.m. Other sports are held in the air-conditioned hall, some play outside, but they start earlier. I don't want to seem picky and somehow weak - on the contrary, I consider myself physically strong enough - but to play in such a heat means to die on the court. Karen himself complained about the difficult weather conditions, and we hope that Khachanov is physically ready enough for the quarterfinals. Khachanov won the first set against Diego 6-1, lost the second game 2-6, and won the third set 6-1. Because of the heat, tennis players are more prone to slumps than usual. At the same time, I would not say that the match against Schwartzman was very difficult. Only Duckworth was able to beat the Russian. Khachanov played three matches at the Olympics already, two of which were three sets against Nishioka and Schwartzman. We should recall that Khachanov reached the fifth round in the capital of England, losing in five sets to Denis Shapovalov, which is certainly an excellent result. This is obvious, after looking at his results at Wimbledon. ![]() ![]() We have already written before that Karen Khachanov came to the Olympics in great shape. Both players have never faced each other before. The world's 25th-ranked player, Karen Khachanov, will meet Ugo Umbert, ranked 28th, in the 1/4 finals of the Olympics tennis tournament.
