With his dazzling tennis, his trend-setting short shorts & his big win over Frances Tiafoe, Machac left a big impression on this #AusOpen Today he just couldn’t win the big points. Machac was 2/19 on break points. Khachanov was 2/3 and will be a big test for Sinner. #AusOpen
2023 semifinalist Karen Khachanov back into the last 16 in Melbourne, surviving a *very good* Tomas Machac. Gets Sinner on Sunday. Should be great, actually. https://t.co/5O6jfR5eR8
Here comes Machac! He's won the third set 6-4. It feels like he might have left himself too much to do. Coming back from two sets down against Khachanov is a mammoth task, but I can't wait to watch. #AusOpen

Machachanov has been gripping. At times Machac has been doing some otherworldly things - diving volleys and slice forehand winners for instance. But Khachanov is just so tough and so solid. He saves a couple of set points and leads 6-4 7-6. #AusOpen
