Tennis player Karen Khachanov praised the upcoming championship in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
22-year-old Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov will take part in the Mubadala Tennis World Championship in Abu Dhabi, which will be held from December 27 to 29.
The tournament in Abu Dhabi brings together players such as Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Dominic Tim, Kevin Anderson and Hyun Chung. For Khachanov, this is the first performance in Abu Dhabi.
“I heard a lot of positive reviews about the tournament in Abu Dhabi,” he said, “Some of the best players in the world are gathering at it. This is a great chance to play and fight these great players at the very beginning of the year. For me, this is an excellent preparation before the performance in Melbourne. "
Khachanov went down in history, becoming the first Russian after Safin to win Paris Masters. In the final, he beat Djokovic.
“I beat four of the top 10 players at Paris Masters. I'm really proud of the level I showed,” says Khachanov, adding that the victory over a tennis superstar such as Djokovic in the final was special.
