Khachanov stuns Djokovic in Paris final

Russia’s

Karen Khachanov clinched the biggest win of his career yesterday with a 7-5, 6-4 upset of Novak Djokovic to claim the Paris Masters title.

Khachanov became the third different first-time winner of a Masters tournament this year and denied Djokovic a fourth title in a row ahead of his return to world No. 1 today. Djokovic had earlier defeated Roger Federer 7-6 (8/6), 5-7, 7-6 (7/3) in a semi-final that he described as “one of the best matches” between the longtime rivals. (Agencies)
