Down-the-line.ru will broadcast a live text online: Tennis. US Open. First round. Karatsev – Legechka. Direct
Aslan Karatsev is having a weak season, this year he has only passed the 1/8 finals twice in all the tournaments he has participated in. In the very first tournament of the year in Pune, Karatsev reached the semi-finals and lost to Tallon Greekspur, then found himself in the semi-finals in Madrid, but lost to Jan-Lennard Struff.
The rest of the season is grey. At TBSH in Australia, Karatsev immediately flew out of Grigor Dimitrov, then at Roland Garros in the second round he lost to Francis Tiafoe, and at Wimbledon he also lost to Andrey Rublev in the second round. At the US Open, Kratsev immediately has a difficult opponent, and there is a possibility of repeating the situation with the Australian Open. If suddenly Karatsev overtakes Legechka, Rune will be next and it’s an almost guaranteed start.
Jiri Legechka is a promising Czech tennis player who surprised everyone at the Australian Open this season by reaching the quarter-finals, eliminating Coric, Eubanks, Norrie and Auger-Aliassime in the process. Then immediately there was a semi-final in Qatar, where Legechka lost to Murray, but at the same time knocked out Rublev. Then the Czech suffered a recession and he played unsuccessfully at Roland Garros, taking off in the second round, but played well at Wimbledon – he reached the 4th round, beating Cherundulo and Paul and giving way to Medvedev. At Winston-Salem, Legechka reached the final of the ATP tournament for the first time in his career, but lost to Baez. He should, however, be in good spirits ahead of the US Open.
