Analysts doubt that the match of the second round of the French Open Aslan Karatsev – Francis Tiafoe will turn out to be stubborn: bets on a total of more than 39.5 games are accepted for 2.00, and experts estimate a total of less of 39.5 games in a coefficient of 1.72.
Analysis and forecast for the match of the second round of “Roland Garros” Aslan Karatsev – Francis Tiafoe (06/01/2023)
Five Russian tennis players have qualified for the Roland Garros main draw. However, one of them has already finished speaking. Daniil Medvedev lost sensationally in the first round to world No. 172 Thiago Wild.
An athlete from Kazakhstan is still lucky:
Elena Rybakina – Linda Noskova. The Kazakh woman is easy with the Czechs
On the one hand, you can talk about Medvedev’s bad luck or his little adaptability to play on clay. On the other hand, the Brazilian showed other athletes an example of how not to give up in a match with a superior opponent. He will be followed by Aslan Karatsev, who will play with the 12th racket in the world, Francis Tiafoe.
Sobolenko defeated Shimanovich and advanced to the third round of Roland Garros.
Karatsev himself was on the outskirts of the top ten in the rankings more than a year ago, having passed the 2021 season at a high level and then winning the ATP tournament in Sydney. He also reached the third round of the Australian Open. However, in most subsequent competitions, with rare exceptions, the Russian has already taken off in the first or second match.
Everything changed a month ago in Madrid. In Spain, Karatsev reached the semifinals. The Russian opted for the clay court season and instead of traveling to the US Masters series tournaments, he trained for a month at the Rafael Nadal Academy in Mallorca.
Fakel is satisfied with the new coach:
Vadim Evseev will save Voronezh! Osinkin and Yuran will have less luck
This gave a wonderful result. After a successful performance in Madrid, in which Karatsev defeated Daniil Medvedev and Alex de Minor, the Russian did not experience any problems in qualifying for Roland Garros. In the first round of the main draw of the French Open, Karatsev defeated racket number 85 in the world Alexei Popyrin from Australia in four sets: 3:1 (6:3, 6:7, 6:1, 6:2).
Latvian tennis player Ostapenko cursed a fan.
When Karatsev was asked about the results of the draw, in which he was lucky to avoid meeting the top seed in the first round, he philosophically noted that sooner or later he would have to meet the best. He also added that he was ready for such a meeting.
Francis Tiafoe has never been in the top ten in the rankings, but he got as close as possible after winning the tournament in Houston in April of this year. True, the American won only three of the next six matches on clay. In Barcelona, he lost to world No. 54 Emil Ruusuvuori, in Madrid to world No. 63 Pedro Cachin, and in Rome to world No. 21 Lorenzo Musetti.
Tiafoe has competed at Roland Garros since 2015 but has never made it past the second round, although the American has made notable strides at other Grand Slams, including last year’s US Open semifinals. The first round match with Filip Krajinovic (6:3, 6:4, 6:2) was only Tiafoe’s second French Open main draw win of his career.
Playing on clay isn’t a strong point for Aslan Karatsev either, so in this sense the rivals’ chances are even, but a month of training in Mallorca and a nine-game winning streak give the Russian the confidence he lacks in the last times. Let’s bet on Karatsev’s victory by 1.90.
Prediction and bet on the match “Roland Garros” Aslan Karatsev – Francis Tiafoe June 1, 2023
Francis Tiafoe is the 12th racket in the world, but the clay court season is contradictory for him. After winning in Houston, the tennis player loses one out of every two matches. Aslan Karatsev trained for a month at Rafael Nadal’s academy to better prepare himself for the clay-court matches and use them as a starting point to return to previous heights. He has been great in Madrid. The second round in Paris is not the limit either.
Tender: victory of Aslan Karatsev in 1.90.
Express with a coefficient of 10.25.
Azarenka got into a fight with the judges at the Roland Garros match.
15 of 18 Russian tennis players reached the second round of Roland Garros.
Daniil Medvedev: I’m glad the clay court season is coming to an end.
Thiago Wild – about the victory over Medvedev – my dream came true.
