Pablo Carreño's victory over Denis Shapovalov in the US Open quarterfinals has allowed the Spaniard to stand for the second time in the Grand Slam semifinals American and, incidentally, silence some criticism of him.
2017 #USOpen semifinalist Pablo Carreno Busta (yes, that happened) is into the fourth round with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win over Berankis.
He faces winner of Djokovic-Struff next.

It all started when Carreño beat Berankis in the third round of the tournament last Friday and journalist Ben Rothenberg wrote on social media: “The semifinalist of the US Open 2017 Pablo Carreño (yes, that happened) is in the fourth round (eighth finals) after beating Berankis by 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2. He will face the winner of the Djokovic-Struff. “
So a guy who made top 10 and the world tour finals made the semis of a major? And that’s worthy of a sarcastic comment on a good result. Lol, great reporting Ben.

Rothenberg's criticism did not like the American tennis player Ryan Harrison, who replied: So is he a guy who has been in the World Top-10 and has reached the ATP Finals and has reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam? And that's worthy of a sarcastic comment on a good result. Lol, great info Ben. “
I have seen a journalist and last night, Kyrgios, laugh at Carreño. The Australian says in a tweet that without the land, Pablo would not even be in the Top 50, and then delete it.
At least, the Spanish knows what it is to step on a semis in the #USOpen ????

Nick Kyrgios joined the conversation, who was forceful about the Asturian. “If clay didn't exist I don't think that guy would be anywhere near the Top-50.” Later, the controversial Australian tennis player deleted the tweet, Although this morning Pablo Carreño has shown Nick Kyrgios, who has never reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam during his career, that he was wrong about his level.
