Which trio of victories was more impressive...

[ibbi]

Tsitsipas d. Thiem - 6-3, 7-6(6)
Tsitsipas d. Djokovic - 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3
Tsitsipas d. Zverev - 3-6, 7-6(11), 6-4

Khachanov d. Zverev - 6-1, 6-2
Khachanov d. Thiem - 6-4, 6-1
Khachanov d. Djokovic - 7-5, 6-4

???

 

[Dilexson]

For me it's the one that led to the title win.
Equally impressive streaks in a vaccum.

 

[Red Rick]

Khachanov by a mile.

 

[Krish872007]

Khachanov thrashed Thiem and Zverev comfortably and edged out Djokovic in decisive fashion towards the end of each set. Gotta be him.

 

[stringertom]

This week’s. Look at those scorelines and look what he won!

 

[Mainad]

Khachanov beat them all without dropping a set and won the title so that has to clinch it although Tsitsipas' achievement was very impressive too.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Karen ftw

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Well, you'd say Karen's was more impressive. However, Tsitsipas is two years younger, so that somewhat evens things out a bit.

However, the fact that Khachanov held his cool and won a MS1000 title against world #1 and legend Djokovic puts him ahead for me.

Both great talents. I hope they build on this and start the challenge for the later stages of the slams next year. Karen already had three GS R4 (2x FO and 1x Wimbledon). Will be disappointing though if he doesn't improve on his 2017/2018 R2 at the AO next year.

2 impressive and promising scalp collections

I have a feeling KK will end up having a more successful career than Zverev. Time will tell.

Could be. He did look very impressive in Paris. But of course one run at a tournament doesn't tell us everything - and Zverev is younger and has more MS titles.

Exciting times for tennis, anyway. Seems as though the younger guys are finally arriving.

 

[TennisFan97068]

Khachanov by a country mile.
Zverev choked in that the Toronto match against Tsitsipas.No one choked against Khachanov

 

[lud]

Only one of them won tournament

 

[BeatlesFan]

Khachanov by a mile.

And the fact he defeated Djoker in the final and not an earlier round.

 

[Krish0608]

Khachanov because all 3 victories were pure ownage! He did not just beat them, he outplayed them and pwned them. And he beat an in-form Djokovic in a FINAL. Khachanov has had quite an awesome 2nd half of the year.

Non-Big 4 MS1K title #9 since Cilic broke the stranglehold at TRS’16. Also, 12 finalists in that time span. Only one of those titles (Isner Miami’18) went to a 30+ so the “young” (Cilic, Dimitrov earn the quotation marks) whippersnappers are rebelling. Fedalray will issue demerits to Joe Kovic for not restoring order this week.

 

[oldmanfan]

KahRen.

Same 3 opponents, but Karen:

1) owned worse-formed Zverev
2) owned better-formed Thiem
3) beat convincingly better-formed Djokovic
4) bonus: edged Isner2018
5) won the title

 

[underground]

Karen. Mainly because had Zverev had his brained screwed on he would have knocked Tsitsipas out, whereas nobody was even close to taking a set off KK.

 

[Subway Tennis]

Both runs were very impressive, we are dealing with two great young players.

But the devil is in the details: Kachanov's run included a title match, and his scorelines were authoritative.

You can add both of these guys, and their contrasting styles, to the ever-expanding #Nextgen lineup.

There is a pretty strong indication that tennis over the next 5-10 years is going to be very entertaining indeed.
