Aslan Karatsev vs Mattia Bellucci Prediction: the Italian will get the win

Prediction for the ATP Hangzhou match which will take place on September 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Aslan was close to playing in the main draw of the US Open, but lost in three sets to China's Bu in the final of qualifying. The match against Bu lasted exactly two hours, Karatsev easily won the first set 6:1, but lost the next two 3:6 and 4:6. A humiliating defeat that cost the Russian a place in the round of 128 of the Majors.

Unlike Karatsev, Bellucci made it to the main draw of the Majors and even made it through one round, knocking out Swiss Wawrinka. However, in the second round Belucci lost to Australian O'Connell in 4 games with the score 3:6, 4:6, 6:3, 3:6, the match lasted almost three hours.

We believe that Karatsev is somewhat underestimated and the Russian is capable of making it to the second round of the tournament in China. We don't forget that Aslan has experience of winning ATP tournaments and not so long ago Karatsev was in the top 30 of the rankings, the Italian is nowhere near such achievements. In this pair we are on the side of the outsider, moreover, we will not be surprised if Aslan wins the upcoming match in two sets.
