Khachanov saved four break points in the fourth game of the first set and then managed to break Tabilo’s serve. However, Tabilo immediately broke back. The set was eventually decided in a tiebreak, with Tabilo having a slight edge (7:5).

In the second set, Tabilo secured an early break in the third game, but Khachanov managed to level the set in the sixth game. Tabilo had a chance to close out the match earlier, holding two break points in the ninth game, but Khachanov held on.

The tiebreak in the second set was a tense battle, with Khachanov saving four match points and Tabilo saving two set points before ultimately prevailing 12:10. Tabilo now awaits the winner of the match between Zverev and Monteiro in the quarterfinals.
