Kazbek Karatsev, father of Russian tennis player Aslan Karatseva said the hip injury is no longer a concern for his son and a lot of things in the upcoming games will depend on the weather.
Karatsev qualified for the second round of Roland-Garros by beating Alexei Popyrin. The match lasted just under three hours and ended 6:3, 6:7 (4:7), 6:1, 6:2.
– I was worried about Aslan’s service, it could have been better. On the game, in general, there are no questions. The hip injury that was in Madrid is no longer a problem. He rested, didn’t play in Rome, he managed to recover. In terms of physical condition and technique, everything is fine. I think he can go far on the grid, but I don’t know how it will be in practice. The weather plays a role. He played during the day, in the sun, with high humidity, at such a time that it is hard for him. Of course, it is more convenient to play in the evening session.
The next opponent is Francis Tiafoe. He plays aggressively, is physically healthy and mentally stable. The American will fight for victory. For Aslan in this game, a lot will also depend on the weather. If there are comfortable conditions, then the chances of going further are psychologically high,” Kazbek Karatsev told Metaratings.ru.
In the next round, Karatsev will face American Francis Tiafoe. The game is scheduled for May 31.
