Playing Style & Technique
Karen Khachanov is a flat hitter — their game is built on taking the ball early and driving through the court with pace and minimal spin. Their serve is a significant weapon, generating free points through raw pace and precise placement.
This style is efficient and hard to neutralise on fast surfaces — the ball skids through low, giving opponents less time to set up. It requires clean, consistent ball-striking since there is little topspin margin to keep the ball in.
How their equipment supports their style: The Blade Pro suits a flat hitter's need for a firm, controlled response. Luxilon ALU Power provides the feel and control necessary for precise, flat groundstrokes at high swing speeds.
