The Russian tennis player delivered an amazing shot! But his spectacular tweener lob didn’t help him knock out Sinner

The Australian Open is entering its second week and the frequency of top quality matches is increasing. In the quarter-final clash, Russia’s Karen Khachanov took on one of the hot favourites, Italy’s Sinner. In this match, the Russian pulled off an incredible shot.

Tweener lob against Sinner

Karen Khachanov is a top two player in the ATP rankings, but he has also peeked into the elite ten in his career.

In the very next round, the Russian faced one of the biggest favourites of the Australian Grand Slam, the Italian Jannik Sinner. He won the opening two sets, but then came the big moment for the Russian.

Khachanov came up with a shot at the beginning of the third set that we rarely see. Against the world number four, he used a shot played between the legs called a tweener. See what he did with it.

But it wasn’t enough to win the match and Sinner goes on in Melbourne. And in terms of his possible upcoming opponents, it’s going to get tough.

Sinner’s next opponent

Among the top eight tennis players, the Italian will face a duel with Russia’s Rublyov. The latter defeated the host De Minaur in a five-set battle. He celebrated his three hundredth victory on the ATP circuit.

Sinner is advancing very clearly in Australia and will be a big favourite against the Russian. In this part of the rankings, the semi-final duel between Sinner and Djokovic counts a bit.

Even the legendary Serbian, after an unconvincing start to the Grand Slam, has come out to a great performance. He even gifted the Frenchman Mannarino, who revealed his tequila secret after the previous match, two canaries in Sunday’s match.

The expected clash of the generations between Sinner and Djokovic is thus facing fewer and fewer obstacles.
