Khachanov becomes a father for a second time, welcomes baby boy with wife Veronika Shkliaeva

Russia’s tennis player Karen Khachanov has become a father
for the second time.
The 27-year-old welcomed the baby boy with his wife Veronika
Shkliaeva. The two have been together for more than 12 years and tied the knot back
in 2016.
Khachanov, who became a father for the first time in 2019, announced
the development on his official Instagram account by stating: "12.07.2023
welcome to the world my second baby boy Mikael.”
The news will be a welcome one for the current world number
one who has struggled with injuries in the recent past.
The Moscow-born ruled himself out of Wimbledon 2023
because of a stress fracture in his back. That injury took place during the
French Open fixture earlier in the year.
Despite not winning a Grand Slam in his 10-year-long
professional career, Khachanov has a more than decent record while playing in
the majors.
He has already played in the semi-final of the Australian
Open in 2023 and US Open in 2022 whereas he has played in the quarterfinals of
the French Open — in 2019 and 2023 — and Wimbledon in 2021.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
