Bernard Tomic defeats Karen Khachanov to reach Los Cabos quarterfinal
Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic, ranked 171 in the world, recorded a straight‑sets win (6‑2, 6‑4) over fourth‑seeded Russian Karen Khachanov at the ATP Los Cabos tournament. The victory marked Tomic's biggest win in eight years and his first appearance in an ATP quarter‑final since 2016.
Entering the event as a lucky‑loser qualifier, Tomic had earlier dispatched local qualifier Alex Hernandez 6‑1, 6‑0 in just 46 minutes. The win moves him closer to a possible rise to around world No. 132 should he capture the title. Tomic, who previously won his last ATP title in Chengdu in 2018, said after the match, "I'll be as honest as I can… I said this was going to be my last year, so I guess I have to reassess… I'm probably going to play another 20 years!"
