The Russian Karen Khachanov was eliminated in the round of 16 at Roland Garros by the number 1 in the world, Novak Djokovic, who defeated him 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 3. The Muscovite, a former number 8 ATP, is now among the top fifteen players in the ATP rankings.
In his career he has only reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament: last year’s French Open. Karen was born in 1996 and has won a total of four ATP titles, including the 2018 Paris-Bercy Masters 1000.
In a new interview for the GoTennis.Ru website, Khachanov spoke about the race for the player with the most Grand Slams between Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
Khachanov on Djokovic’s blow to a linesman in Paris
“I would say Rafael Nadal.
This is my personal opinion. Although Novak Djokovic is younger and many people are betting on him, I will name Nadal. “The Muscovite commented on the funny episode with his fourth round game against” Nole “in Paris, in which the Serb hit a linesman without intent and after returning.
I saw it and I laughed. He didn’t do it on purpose, but inside maybe he hoped it was. “The current number 17 in the world answered the question of whether Djokovic is more open and tolerant in terms of character than Federer and Nadal:” I wouldn’t say it.
The fact is, everyone is locked in their own bubble, if we will call it that. Roger and Rafa also communicate with me, and that goes for other players too. But maybe it’s true that they don’t chat with you for long.
So yes, from this point of view Novak is a little more open. “Finally, Khachanov talked about his desire to be among the top ten players in the world again:” I’m not saying that I’m not in physical shape now, but that there are more psychological problems.
In some games I was able to win with a certain number of points, in others I couldn’t. There wasn’t enough confidence, but that brings wins. It’s a cycle. Everything has to come together, then take a leap and move on. Yes, I know what to do and how to proceed, ”concluded the Russian Karen Khachanov.
