Aslan Karatsev vs Elias Ymer: Ymer will fight Karatsev?

The first match for Aslan Karatsev at Pune, India, will be the match against Elias Imer, a 25-year-old tennis player from Sweden. By the way, the player of the national team. Unlike Karatsev, Imer has a great practice in India, so Aslan will not have an easy match.

Let's not forget that Aslan, before the not very successful Australian Open, Aslan won a tournament in Melbourne in the final, outplaying Andy Murray in two games. In Melbourne, Aslan beat Munyar in five sets to McDonald in four games but lost to Mannarino, whom he had never met before. Less than a month ago, Aslan successfully entered the season, after a long break, confidently beat Kecmanovic, who already had playing practice. Maybe the Russian will also confidently enter the Indian tournament?

At AO, Ymer was also present but did not qualify for the main draw, dropping out in the final qualification from the Chilean Tabilo in two sets. But in India, Elias qualified, defeating Kuzmanov and Polmans. Moreover, the Swede has already played one match in the main draw of the tournament in Pune, knocking out #202 in the world, Gianmarco Moroni. The game against the Italian tennis player was long, lasted two hours and 12 minutes and included three sets.

Karatsev knows how to enter a new tournament. Ymer has good playing practice in India, but it was evident that his future rivals are not competitors in terms of class. If Aslan manages to show at least 60% of his potential, Ymer has no chance of reaching the next round. True, we do not expect an easy victory over Ymer either. After all, Aslan will have to fight with the Swede a little bit.
