— Karen, tell us how the meeting with Roman Kostomarov went. Was it a discovery for you that the Olympic figure skating champion loves tennis? Which Grand Slam tournament can we meet at?

— I was very happy to meet Roman. I didn’t know that he followed tennis and that his daughter played it. My family, I think, like the whole country, followed what was happening with Roman. And for me personally, this man is a true example of incredible fortitude, character and courage. I will be happy to see him in any Grand Slam tournament in my dressing room,” Khachanov told .

Kostomarov, partnered with Tatyana Navka, won gold at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, and also won the World Championships twice and the European Championships three times.
