Aslan Karatsev's historic run continued at the Australian Open on Tuesday as the Russian became the first man in the Open Era to reach the semifinals on his grand slam debut.
The world No. 114 stunned a clearly injured Grigor Dimitrov 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena.

Karatsev, who had previously attempted to qualify for nine grand slam championships, is only the fifth qualifier to reach the semifinals of a grand slam in the Open Era with a victory which took two hours and 32 minutes.President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.
