Useless bigots stop trying to crucify players - Tennis fans react to Karen Khachanov s Russian origins being questioned after his US Open semifinal defeat to Casper Ruud

By Rohit Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Karen Khachanov was grilled over his Russian roots in a press conference at the US Open. Karen Khachanov suffered a heartbreaking loss against Casper Ruud in the semifinals of the US Open on Friday. He was already in a subdued mood when he arrived for his post-match conference, where a journalist tried to twist an innocuous answer by him into something more. Khachanov stated that his next move was to go home before returning to the tour later on. The journalist then tried to seek clarification if by "home" he meant returning to Russia. The 26-year-old responded by saying that while he's from Moscow, his current residence is in Dubai. It rattled him a little and made a quick exit after that. "I mean, my city and where I come from is Russia and Moscow, but I have residence, I live in Dubai. So...thank you," Khachanov said.

"These f***en useless bigots who somehow have free rein in the press rooms, calling themselves 'journalists'... Just stop trying to crucify these players," one user wrote.
