PARIS : Karen Khachanov showed good resilience to down Italian Lorenzo Sonego 1-6 6-4 7-6 6-1 and reach the French Open quarter-finals for the second time on Sunday.
Sonego never recovered from wasting a 4-0 advantage in the third-set tiebreak, which proved to be the turning point of an entertaining encounter. "After the first set and a half, I was thinking, what am I doing here, he was hitting all over the place so I decided all I could do was fight," said the Russian, who made it to the last four in the last two Grand Slams in New York and Melbourne.
Khachanov brought his best game into the second set to level the contest, which went to a tiebreak in the third.
