Russia’s No. 1-ranked tennis player Karen Khachanov has won the third-place prize at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.

The 22-year-old Muscovite Armenian athlete defeated Dominic Thiem (Austria) in three sets, in the champion’s tiebreak.

In the final of the Mubadala World Tennis Championship, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic (Serbia) beat Kevin Anderson (South Africa) in three sets and became the winner of this tournament.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
