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.

AceOfBase17-09-2024 - FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
