1. Ivan Gakhov arrived in Russia to participate in the VTB Kremlin 2018 tournament.
2. He recently won the Russian National Tennis Championship 2018 in three categories (singles, doubles, and mixed doubles).
3. Gakhov trained in Spain since he was fourteen and mostly played on clay courts, but has not had any problems playing on hard courts in the past two or three years.
4. He switched from using a Babolat racket to a Head racket this year, which he feels gives him more control.
5. Gakhov strings his racket at a tension of 21-22 k.g.
6. During the Russian Tennis Championships, his luggage and rackets did not arrive on time, so he had to play the first two days without his personal rackets.
7. He used a defective racket and a different model of Head racket during those two days, leading to a poor performance initially.
8. However, his opponents in the early rounds were not strong, allowing him to still win in all three categories.
