Five things to know about Karen Khachanov

Karen Khachanov, pictured here in 2013, has been playing tennis since he was a toddler

2) Possesses a monstrous serve and heavy groundstrokes

Khachanov considers Marat Safin his idol

Just like his idol Safin, Khachanov boasts of a gigantic serve, coupled with a forehand that would give a certain Argentine a run-for-his-money. The backhand is no pushover either.

This is further ascertained by the fact that his favorite shot is the backhand down-the-line.

And as Khachanov grows stronger(he weighs about 194 pounds already), those weapons are sure to grow bigger, better, and become more consistent. One can only imagine the sort of destruction it would cause. We should get ready for World War 3 maybe, haha!
