Karatsev makes tennis history after beating Dmitrov to reach Australian Open semi-final

Moscow, Feb 16 (Sputnik) Russian tennis player Aslan Karatsev made history on Tuesday after beating Bulgarian Grigor Dmitrov to become the first man to reach Grand Slam semi-finals in his debut season.
Karatsev roundly beat Dmitrov, who appeared to be suffering from a back ailment, in four sets, continuing his unlikely cinderella run in the Australia Open.
The 27-year-old will now face either World No.1 Novak Djokovic or No 3 Alexander Zverev in the semi-final. Karatsev now looks all but assured to break into the Association of Tennis Professionals top 100 men’s ranking from his current 114th position.
