Playing Style & Strengths

Khachanov is a heavy hitter who builds his game around a big serve and powerful, flat groundstrokes off both wings. At 198cm he generates significant pace and uses his reach to cover the court better than many players of his height, allowing him to defend and then flip rallies into attack with a single shot. His forehand is the bigger weapon, but his backbone is the consistency of his serve under pressure.

He is effective across all surfaces — his Paris Masters title came indoors, his Olympic medal and Slam semi-finals on hard, and he competes strongly on clay too. When his timing and serve are clicking he can overpower top opponents; the variation comes when faster, more mobile players force him to generate his own pace and move him around the baseline.
