Aslan Karatsev vs Jason Kubler Prediction: The bookmakers are overestimating the Australian

Prediction for the ATP Brisbane Aslan Karatsev vs Jason Kubler match which will take place on January 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After a successful tournament in Tokyo, where Karatsev reached the final, he lost to Ben Shelton in straight sets. Karatsev failed in Vienna, losing to Croatian Gojo in consecutive sets. The match against Gojo took place on 25 October 2023, and since then, we have not seen Karatsev on the court, so we can only guess at the Russian's current form.

Kubler's season ended on 29 August when Arnaldi eliminated him at the US Open. The Australian had previously lost to Lajovic at the Cincinnati Masters and Nakashima at the Winston-Salem tournament. Kubler's long absence from ATP tournaments saw him drop out of the top 100 in the ATP rankings.

It is hard to say what form either athlete is in, but the Australian has at least two things going for him. Firstly, the tournament is being held in Australia so the crowd will be on his side. Secondly, Kubler has a career win over Karatsev, albeit in an unfinished match. A year ago in Doha, Kubler was the bookmakers' favorite, and the situation is the same now. The bookmakers are overestimating the Australian, and we are betting on the outsider in this pairing.
