Khachanov & Rublev Named Fans' Favourite Doubles Duo In 2023 ATP Awards

Long-time friends Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev have been voted as the Fans' Favourite doubles team in the 2023 ATP Awards. The duo captured its maiden team title at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid and were semi-finalists in Beijing.

"I just want to say a big thanks to you guys for voting for me and Karen," said Rublev. "For us it means a lot. Thank you so much one more time. See you soon, happy new year."

Khachanov and Rublev had lively fan support throughout the season, including in Madrid when they earned Match Tie-break wins in four of their five matches en route to the trophy. Known for the powerful baseline games, Khachanov and Rublev also won fans' hearts over with constant energy and frequent smiles on the doubles court.

Khachanov and Rublev also met twice this season on the singles court. Rublev won their third-round match in Monte-Carlo en route to his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title, but three weeks later Khachanov earned revenge in the Madrid fourth round. 

Winners for the 2023 ATP Awards will be announced throughout the coming week.
