Zverev vs Khachanov at US Open Semi

Alexander Zverev and Karen Khachanov clash in the US Open 2026 men's semi-final, with Zverev arriving slightly late to the match.

On Arthur Ashe Stadium, Karen Khachanov emerged from the tunnel first, followed by Alexander Zverev who needed extra time in the bathroom before the match. The venue was marked with flags at half mast to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and the stadium was lit up blue from dusk until dawn in tribute.
