June 13. stuttgart. First round. Men. Simple

Corentin Moutet (France) – Aslan Karatsev (Russia)

The tennis players met in 2019 on hard and both matches were won by the Frenchman. Despite personal dating stats, Aslan in a pair is cited as a notable favorite. In the clay portion of the season, Mute wasn’t a huge figure. The Frenchman played 8 matches on the ground, five of which were lost. At Roland-Garros, Corentin went out in the second round, where he lost in 4 sets against Rublev. Last year Mute didn’t play on grass and in the past three years he has only played five matches, three of which he lost. Clearly, Mute isn’t in his best shape. In addition, the grass is definitely not in profile for the French. Aslan reached the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters, where he lost to Germany’s Struff in three matches. At Roland Garros, the Russian played five matches: three in qualifying and two in the main draw, eventually losing to the American Tiafoe in 4 sets. On grass, Aslan’s results aren’t good either. Over the past two seasons, Karatsev has had only seven fights on this surface, five of which he lost. Dumb, like Karatsev, is not very fond of grass. This can be seen in the statistics of tennis players. But Karatsev is at his best and this factor will definitely affect the outcome of the upcoming match. Mute won both personal encounters against Karatsev but both of those games were played in 2019. Since then, the Russian has added decently, unlike the Frenchman. Karatsev has enough talent to get full-fledged revenge on Mute on Tuesday for past losses. Karatsev is the 2020 Olympics silver medalist in mixed doubles; finalist in a Grand Slam tournament in mixed doubles (French Open 2021); winner of four ATP tournaments (including three singles); winner of the Davis Cup and the 2021 ATP Cup as part of the Russian national team. At the next meeting, there is no need to doubt the quotes of the bookmakers. Experts believe that Karatsev has a better chance of success. The Russian will not let his fans down and go further. We must bet on the victory of Karatsev.
