Fifth set against Korda, Wimbledon 2021
Born in Moscow on 21 May 1996 to an Armenian father and a Russian mother, Khachanov stands 1.98 m and plays right-handed with a two-handed backhand. His biggest title came at the 2018 Paris Masters, where he beat Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-4 in the final, and he reached a career-high No. 8 in July 2019. In 2021 he won Olympic singles silver in Tokyo and the Davis Cup with Russia. He reached the US Open semi-finals in 2022 and the Australian Open semi-finals in 2023, and has won seven ATP singles titles. He missed Wimbledon in 2022, when Russian players were barred, and in 2023 through injury. On grass in 2026 he lost his opening match at Halle and, seeded 19th at Wimbledon, led Flavio Cobolli two sets to one in the third round before losing in five.

Two days after the Korda match he faced Denis Shapovalov. Khachanov led two sets to one, but he faced 19 break points, made 50 unforced errors and appeared to tire in the fifth set. He lost serve at 4-4 in the fifth when a forehand went long on Shapovalov's fourth break point of the game.

Born in Moscow, Khachanov has said he always identifies with the Armenian roots of his father, who came from Yerevan. At the 2022 US Open he became the first player of Armenian descent to reach a major semi-final since Andre Agassi in 1988. In March 2024 he and Andrey Rublev played a charity exhibition for refugees that raised $100,000.
