For the media Championat, Karen Khachanov discussed recovery between tournaments and physical issues.

According to him, planning a schedule is crucial to staying healthy. He stated: "You always have to analyze what worked well and what didn't.

"Recovery is essential"

Anyway, we gain in maturity, so recovery is essential, not only between matches, but also between tournaments. You already know yourself. For example, if you play well in one, two, or three tournaments, you sometimes regain form, but fatigue also sets in.

So you have to listen to yourself and adapt your schedule. I think it's essential; legendary tennis players have often talked about it: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and others.

They have been paying increasing attention to it since they were 28. There is a lot to learn, a lot to add, and we'll see where it leads us."
