Russian Karen Khačanov is the sensational winner of the Masters in Paris! In the final in two sets (7:5, 6:4), he was better than the world's number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic.
Faced with the flu that accompanies him until the start of the tournament in Paris, and the two previous exhausting and marathon matches (130 minutes with Cilic and yesterday 182 minutes with Federer), Djokovic was forced to give up his own style and shorten the points, which perfectly suited Hacanov , who spent only a little more than two hours on the field in the previous two duels.,
Hačanov prevented Djokovic from equaling Rafa Nadal's number of Masters (33), and he himself won the first Masters in his debut final.
Hačanov, who had three ATP titles in his career, won the Masters with four wins over players from the top 10, while before Bersi, he had three wins over the best players on the ATP list for his entire previous career.
Khachanov, the best Russian tennis player, will be the 11th player on the ATP list from tomorrow, which is the best flame in his heart.
Although the success of the 22-year-old Russian seems surprising, he demonstrated his supreme potential in the round of 16 of the US Open final against the then number one tennis player, Rafa Nadal, who won it only after four hours and 25 minutes of play.
Djokovic will have the opportunity to reach Federer's record of six titles at the Masters finals, and Nadal's record of 33 Masters series tournament wins in London.
Hačanov tied the match with Novak, who beat him 3:0 (6:4, 6:2, 6:2) in the only previous match - the round of XNUMX at Wimbledon.
