The Belarusian tennis star, Ilya Ivashka, is married to the twin sister of Khachanov’s wife. What is shocking is that both sisters share the same name- Veronika Shkliaeva. And both Veronika’s look the same!
Ilya Ivashka’s wife, Veronika Shkliaeva, is also very aloof on social media. Ivashka, like Khachanov, hardly ever posts pictures of his wife on Instagram.
However, Ilya does acknowledge Veronika’s support in his career on court in a post-match interview. In August 2021, Ivashka won the singles title of Winston Salem. After his win he said, “I want to thank my significant other, she’s generally there, she’s with me constantly, I love you, and this is for you.”

His confession both awed the audience and intrigues them at the same time. Veronika, his wife, was sitting in the audience box, visibly embarrassed and red in the face after all the compliments.
