Karen Khachanov
Karen Khachanov was 22 when he beat Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-4 to win the 2018 Paris Masters, still the biggest of his 7 career titles. Born in Moscow in 1996 to an Armenian father from Yerevan, he plays flat, heavy tennis off both wings, first-strike power built around a big serve. It carried him to a career-high No. 8 in July 2019 and later to Grand Slam semi-finals at the 2022 US Open and the 2023 Australian Open, though a major final still waits.
His closest brush with a defining prize came at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where Alexander Zverev stopped him in the gold-medal match and left him with silver. The years since have rewarded his durability: a Wimbledon quarter-final and a Canadian Open final in 2025 lifted him back into the top 10 that summer. The 2026 season has been quieter, but when the flat forehand lands he is still a draw nobody wants.
