Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-1) for Karatsev – 1.89.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.61.
Karatsev leads with a score of 3-0 in their head-to-head clash against Sonego. Aslan has beaten the Italian twice this season, in Sydney and Bastad tournaments. We believe that the upcoming clash will also end with a win for the Russian.
The tennis players have met each other three times in the past and all three matches were productive. We expect the upcoming match to follow a similar pattern. Both Karatsev and Sonego have been playing about the same level of tennis in the second half of the season, so there is a good chance that they will have another long match.
Karatsev suffered a disappointing loss to Fabio Fognini in the first round of the US Open in late August. Aslan was leading 2-0 in sets and seemed to have the situation under control, but in the end, Fognini made a comeback.
At the Cincinnati Masters, Karatsev defeated Brandon Nakashima, but in the next match, he lost to Diego Schwartzman, whom he had previously always defeated.
Meanwhile, in Kitzbuhel, Washington and Montreal, Karatsev did not make it past any rounds, losing to Dusan Lajovic, Mikael Ymer and Maxime Cressy respectively.
Relatively successful for Aslan were the tournaments in Bastad and Hamburg, where he reached the quarter-finals.
Karatsev has six defeats in his last seven matches in France.
Sonego has not had much to boast about of late either. The Italian, once ranked 21st, now sits 64th.
At the US Open, Lorenzo lost immediately in a five-set match to Jordan Thompson.
In Winston-Salem, Sonego lost in the second round to Maxime Cressey and in Cincinnati, he failed to make the first round, losing to Ben Shelton.
Sonego reached the second round in Metz in 2019 and 2021.
Sonego has lost his first-round match of the main draw at the last five tournaments.
