Younger generation triumphs in Antwerp, Stockholm and Moscow

This past weekend saw members of the younger generation conquer the winner's podium all around the world in Antwerp, Stockholm and Moscow. Only one event, Luxembourg, went to a veteran as top seed Julia Goerges beat Belinda Bencic in the final.

First-time ATP champions were crowned with Kyle Edmund winning Antwerp and Stefanos Tsitsipas taking home the Stockholm hardware.

Edmund was the top seed at the ATP 250 in Belgium, and his road to the final was relatively easy, even benefitting from a withdrawal in the quarterfinals. But, the 23-year-old was tested severely by veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils in the final, escaping with a 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) win.

The Brit moves up to a career-high of No. 14 in the ATP rankings.

Two spots behind him is 20-year-old Tsitsipas, who took out Ernests Gulbis in the Stockholm final on Sunday.

Tsitsipas was playing his third ATP final of the season (and of his career). He dropped just one set, in the first round to John Millman.

The Greek is the first player from his nation to win an ATP crown.

Then in Moscow, two young Russians made their home crowds very happy and made their own dreams come true. Daria Kasatkina, a finalist in Moscow last year, won her second career Premier title (after Charleston). Her road was far from easy.

The 21-year-old overcame a set and a break deficit against Alize Cornet in the round of 16, which led to a pep talk from her coach Philippe Dehae going viral. Dehae came to the rescue again when she was down against Tunisia's Ons Jabeur in the final.

Kasatkina would eventually win, 2-6, 7-6(3), 6-4, putting her inside the Top 10 for the first time.

On the men's side in Moscow, fellow Russian Khachanov needed just 55 minutes to put away his final opponent, Adrian Mannarino.

It's the 22-year-old's third career ATP title and second of 2018, but marks his first foray into the Top 20.

He's the first Russian man to win the Kremlin Cup since Mikhail Youzhny in 2009, while he and Kasatkina are the first Russian duo to dominate both draws since 2007.
