Felix Auger-Aliassime, the top-seeded US Open hopeful, suffered a shocking second-round exit to Karen Khachanov after collapsing under physical strain—reportedly dizzy and seeing spots. Khachanov, ranked 50th but a seasoned Grand Slam veteran, cruised to a 6-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory, exploiting Auger-Aliassime’s 47 unforced errors and 20 break points. The Canadian admitted he felt “abnormal” and couldn’t compete at his best, vowing to get tested for the cause. Khachanov offered his support while focusing on his own game. This loss adds fuel to the men’s draw’s chaos, with Djokovic, Fils, Jodar, Zverev, and Alcaraz already faltering early—hinting at a seismic shift in tennis’ power structure.
