The 29-year-old Khachanov, a seven-time winner on the ATP Tour, will face the winner of the all-American second semifinal between second-seeded Taylor Fritz and fourth-seeded Ben Shelton.
Zverev, the 2017 champion with 24 tour titles, is ranked third in the world. He ended up the top seed with top-ranked Jannik Sinner — the 2023 winner — and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz skipping the hard-court tournament.

Yankees Predicted To Cut Ties With Paul Goldschmidt After Season Takes Sudden Turn
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees' season has taken a sudden turn as they are now fighting to stay in the postseason picture. One of the reasons the Yankees have struggled as of late is Paul Goldschmidt's falloff offensively. Through May, he was slashing .338/.394/.495 with six home runs. Since June 1, he is slashing .211/.266/.349 with just four home runs. The future Hall of Famer is on a one-year deal, and the Yankees have Ben Rice ready to take over at first base. FanSided's Lucas Babits-Feinerman thinks Goldschmidt has played his way out of a spot on the team next year. ARLINGTON, TX - AUGUST 6: Paul Goldschmidt #48 of the New York Yankees hits a solo home run against the Texas Rangers during the seventh inning at Globe Life Field on August 6, 2025 in... ARLINGTON, TX - AUGUST 6: Paul Goldschmidt #48 of the New York Yankees hits a solo home run against the Texas Rangers during the seventh inning at Globe Life Field on August 6, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More"The Yanks have Ben Rice, MLB's unluckiest hitter (he has the worst xBA - AVG among qualified hitters), waiting in the wings to take over at first base next year, and Goldschmidt's role as a defensive stalwart and short-side platoon bat (he's still hitting over .400 against lefties) probably won't be enough to entice him to stick around," wrote Babits-Feinerman. Goldschmidt is a former MVP Award winner, seven-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glover and five-time Silver Slugger. After the first couple of months of the season, his $12.5 million deal seemed like a steal for the Yankees. However, he is now showing that Father Time is undefeated and giving the Yankees a reason to make Rice an everyday player next year. Goldschmidt still has time to get back to hitting well. The Yankees need to turn their season around in a hurry, and it's no coincidence that they were playing better when Goldschmidt was swinging like a star.

Kansas City Chiefs DB Nohl Williams shares excitement for his NFL preseason debut
During Thursday's training camp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Nohl Williams shared his mindset going into his first NFL game this Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. "It hasn't hit me just yet. I'm just taking it day by day, but it's going to be a blessing just going out there with my guys," said Williams, "Just putting on for Kansas City, name on my back, and the people next to me. It will be big." Following a draft day trade with the New England Patriots, the Chiefs selected Nohl Williams in the third round with the 85th overall pick. His ball-hawking skills made him an ideal addition to a secondary that struggled with takeaways. "I'm getting comfortable more and more." said Williams, "The more I study, the more it starts to gel with me, and like I said, 'watching the veterans, (you) see they've been in the system for a while, learning from them, picking their brains, and I feel like every day I get a step closer to our goal.'" After transferring from UNLV in 2023, Williams totaled 53 tackles, six pass deflections, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns. In 2024, Williams' seven interceptions from the previous year at California earned him First Team All-ACC honors and made him a Consensus All-American.

Insider Provides Discouraging Update on Cowboys Star Micah Parsons
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. From the start of training camp, the biggest storyline for the Dallas Cowboys has been star linebacker Micah Parsons. As he remains in a standoff with management, one insider detailed the latest regarding this offseason saga. Over the last few seasons, Parsons has emerged as one of the NFL's top stars on the defensive side of the field. Now, he is ready to be compensated as such. Though Parsons is more than deserving of a sizable extension, the Cowboys continue to drag their feet in negotiations. These tactics are on par with what Dallas has done in the past with guys like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. That said, things are a little different this time around. Parsons has made his feelings abundantly clear, requesting a trade last week.

Micah Parsons #11 of the Dallas Cowboys looks on from the field after an NFL football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium on December 22, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. Photo by/Getty Images Though he's been openly frustrated with the organization, Parsons has remained a professional. He was present for the start of training camp and been around his teammates as much as possible. However, a new wrinkle was thrown into this ordeal when the All-Pro linebacker was absent from practice on Thursday. Following Parsons' notable absence, ESPN's Todd Archer detailed the latest on the disgruntled Cowboys star. He cited that he wasn't at practice due to the back tightness that's been bothering him since the start of camp. "For the first time in training camp," Archer wrote. "Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons was not on the practice field Thursday, with multiple sources telling ESPN he was dealing with back tightness and received treatment during the workout." Archer also provided a fresh outlook on Parsons' business dealings with the Cowboys. The two sides remain at odds and have yet to reopen talks about a new deal. "Jones said he would not trade Parsons, who is under the fifth-year option of his rookie contract this year and set to make $21.324 million. Sources told ESPN that the Cowboys haven't received a call regarding a trade for Parsons, nor have contract discussions between the two sides started."

Due to how things have unfolded in recent weeks, multiple members of the Cowboys have expressed uncertainty about Parsons being on the field for Dallas in Week 1.
