After today’s victory, Khakanov was asked who was the smartest player on the tour?
The veteran Russian immediately appointed top three Wimbledon contenders: two-time dominant champion Carlos Alcarazthe king of the Grand Slam Novak Djokovic And the world’s number one Jannik Sinner For different reasons.
“Now only Novak remains [among the Big 3]you know, who is still playing with us. I’d definitely say Carlos,” Kachanov said. He has all kinds of shots. Once he knows how to use it, when, it’s incredible because he has all the arsenals. I’m sure he has a good idea of the game because he knows when to place slices and when to shoot.
“You know, he felt those moments.
“I would say, well, obviously Jennik too. I think he’s more of a machine. He said. He practices hitting the ball in the right position, and he does that with high intensity and speed.”
The fourth most savvy player on Khachanov’s roster might surprise you: Lorenzo Musetti.
Kachanov said the 2024 Wimbledon semifinalist Musetti’s savvy trick changed the height and rotation of his shot (with the crack of the glider around the Topspin, both showing his understanding of how to get the opponent’s diversity to keep the ball away from the strike zone.
“At the same time, I want to say Musetti. I want to say Musetti is a very, very uncomfortable player because he has that kind of shooting,” Khachanov said. “He knows how to change the trajectory of the game. On the grass, it’s not that spinning, but at the same time, slice it, you know, short films.
“Sometimes he’ll fight back with the speed of his opponent. He really knows where to stay on the court. So I’ll say.”
