5) Does not want to pressurize himself by setting ranking goals

Khachanov defeated Spain’s Albert Ramos-Vinolas for the title at Chengdu

Post his unlikely title run at Chengdu, Khachanov cracked the top 60 in the ATP Rankings. He will thus have a lot of expectations on his young shoulders, from Russians and global tennis fans alike.

To counter this, Khachanov said "I don't want to make any goals, because there are no limits. You can try to go for more and then see what is your real ranking is. I'm trying to push myself as hard as possible and then we'll see."

And if he indeed manages to do that, then sky is the limit for this young lad.
