Aslan Karatsev vs Jenson Brooksby: Prediction and Betting Tips

Aslan Karatsev having to fight his way through

21st seed Aslan Karatsev is playing in his first-ever US Open and already made it to the third round. In fact, 2021 was the Russian’s first year to play in any Grand Slam tournament main draw.

Remarkably, Karatsev reached the semi-final of the Australian Open 2021 in his maiden Grand Slam tournament. Notably, the 27-years-old’s favorite surface is the hardcourts. Thus Karatsev may repeat his feat in Australia earlier this year.

However, Karatsev is looking in a shaky form as he struggled to get through his second-round match against Thompson. Moreover, the world number 25 was down by two sets and saved two match points in the fourth set before ending the match 3-2 in his favor.

 Karatsev Key Stats

• Karatsev played on average 43 games per match in the US Open
• The Russian shot 128 winners in his two matches
• The 21st seed lost his serve nine times in the US Open

Jenson Brooksby putting on some impressive performances

Jenson Brooksby is a 20-year-old American tennis player who turned pro in 2020. Currently, he’s playing in his third US Open main draw. Notably, he had some good results by beating Tomas Berdych in 2019. 

During this season, Brooksby reached his first ATP final in Newport losing to Kevin Anderson in the final. Furthermore, at the 2021 Citi Open, the American upset Aliassime to earn his first top 20 win and advance to his first ATP 500 level quarterfinal.

At this year’s US Open, Brooksby registered two very impressive wins. First, he beat Mikael Ymer the 72 seed in the opening round. Secondly, he stunned 42nd ranked and fellow American Taylor Fritz. Both matches ended in four sets.

Brooksby Key Stats

Aslan Karatsev vs Jenson Brooksby Prediction

The bookies are offering the same odds for both of the players to win, 1.85 at Vbet. Interestingly, they even share very close statistics after their first two matches at the US Open.

Probably Karatsev might have a slight edge over his opponent due to the fact that he played against top players. Thus that could give the Russian some advantage in terms of playing in important matches.

However, Brooksby is a young dynamic sensation who is eager to prove himself among the best. Surely he will climb the rankings to the top positions in no time. First, though he must find a way past Karatsev against whom the world 99th lost their only H2h so far on clay.

In conclusion, it looks like a recipe for a match with a high number of games. Over 37.5 games seems a fair deal considering the number of games they played so far.
