"I think about it, but it needs to be realized," Khachanov speaks about the ATP Finals
Karen Khachanov is currently in good form. A finalist in Toronto, he has qualified for the Round of 16 in Cincinnati, where he will likely face Alexander Zverev.
When asked about his rise in the rankings, he also admitted to thinking about the year-end Masters in Turin.
He stated: "Everything depends on everyone's performance here in Cincinnati, on the outcome of the tournament. Therefore, I won’t rush things but will focus on my game, on each match.
I want to continue in the same spirit, and of course, it’s not far off—I think about it.
But you can’t just think about it, you have to try to make it happen. So, the way I play will determine that."
Khachanov is currently 11th in the Race.
