The match will be the first on hard after the grass part of the season for Karatsev. Aslan played three tournaments on grass: Stuttgart, Halle, and Wimbledon. In London, he had a victory over Van Assche in 4 sets and a defeat by Rublev in the same 4 games. Karasev played 10 games on hard in 2023, five of which he won and lost five.

The tournament in Washington is the first since February 2023 for Pannu. The Australian has already played two qualifying matches, beating two Americans: Kudla and Kuzuhara. The game against Kuzuhara lasted two hours and 16 minutes. Pannu won it with a score of 3:6, 6:2, and 7:6. During the match, Kiranpal served through twice with one double error and won 64% of points on the first serve and 52% on the second. Return statistics: 30%/53%.

It is challenging to compare competitors by class. However, Karatsev will play the first match on a hard surface for a long time, and the Russian will probably need some time to adapt, which the Australian should use. We do not doubt that Karasev will win in Monday's match, but we will not be surprised if the little-known Pannu can take one set from Aslan.
