The Russian made it in time for his son’s third birthday. Karen Khachanov married his childhood sweetheart Veronika Shkliaeva in 2016 and their first child, David, was born on September 14, 2019.
Although Khachanov is private about his personal life, he has shared a few precious moments of himself and his son with fans on social media.
Karen Khachanov secured a silver medal in men’s singles at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. He defeated Yoshihito Nishioka, James Duckworth, Diego Schwartzman, Ugo Humbert, and Pablo Carreno Busta en route to the final before being outclassed by Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the battle for the Olympic gold.
After his podium finish, Khachanov shared an adorable picture of his son glued to the television as he was awarded the silver medal.
“My biggest support,” Khachanov wrote on his Instagram stories.
Karen Khachanov beat in-form Nick Kyrgios to make US Open semifinals
Karen Khachanov made it to his maiden Grand Slam semifinal after defeating the in-form Nick Kyrgios in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open.
Citi Open champion Nick Kyrgios, who was riding high after his fourth-round victory over the-then World No. 1 and defending champion Daniil Medvedev, fell to the Russian 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-4 in a thrilling clash.
After his loss, the Australian was fined $14,000 for smashing his racquets.
Speaking about the incident, the former Paris Masters champion said that he did not immediately understand what had transpired, but empathized with Kyrgios about the painful loss.
"I mean, it's painful. I think it hurts for him or it would be the same for me if I would lose that match. It's never easy to lose five sets because you give your best, you give your self best throughout the whole match, then it's never easy to accept the defeat. To be honest, I didn't look at him after we (shook) hands. I saw after the racquets were flying. But I feel the pain for him, yeah," he said.
