Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 21.5 – 1.72.
Karatsev broke his streak of four defeats and seems set to perform well in Cincinnati. At least one more round is good enough for Aslan at this tournament. In the head-to-head encounters, Karatsev leads with a score of 2-0.
The last encounter between the two tennis players was a long one. We expect the upcoming match to be a tightly-fought one as well.
Contrary to predictions, Karatsev still managed to get through the first round. Aslan started with a victory over Brandon Nakashima (7-5, 7-5).
It must be said that this time Karatsev had a quality match.
Aslan won 87% of points on his first serve and allowed just one break point. Unfortunately, such indicators in his game lately are not very frequent.
Karatsev snapped his streak of four defeats. Before that, he lost in the quarter-finals of Hamburg and had not won a single match in Washington and Montreal.
Karatsev has 1 win in the last 5 meetings.
Diego Schwartzman had a tough match against Alex Molcan (5-7, 6-4, 6-2) in the first round. Diego lost the first set but still found the strength to bounce back.
In Montreal, Diego also started with a strong win, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (1-6, 6-3, 6-4), but then lost to Albert Ramos-Vinolas (4-6, 2-6).
Since Roland Garros, where he reached the fourth round, Schwartzman has never won more than one match.
In four tournaments, however, he has not even managed to get past the first round. It is difficult to say whether this is a setback or just a coincidence, but Schwartzman has not been impressive recently.
Schwartzman has never won two matches in a row at an official hard-court tournament this season.
In 3 of Schwartzman’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.69.
