Aslan Karatsev vs Jeremy Chardy Prediction

One of the most improved players on hardcourts this year is Aslan Karatsev. The Russian has an emphatic record on hard courts and will be a very tough player to beat in this tournament if he can control his temper which has always been his main weakness.

Chardy is a very experienced player that dictates points very wisely and uses his first serve as his main weapon as we saw in his first game against Barrios. The Frenchman has solid shots on both sides but needs to be at his best to beat his opponent which he has done twice.

The latest meeting between these two was in Wimbledon earlier this month and Chardy won in tight three sets. This match could be another tight encounter and we will follow Vbet’s offer of over 23 games with odds of 2.08 as both players are serving very well.
