Aslan Karatsev has been confirmed today in Moscow as the great revelation of the ATP circuit this season. On January 1 he was 112th in the ranking and tomorrow he will come out for the first time in his career within the ‘top20’. Specifically in the eighteenth position, ahead of Pablo Carreño.
Karatsev, 28, champion in March of the Dubai Open 500, has conquered 250 of the Russian capital after defeating Marin Cilic by 6-2 and 6-4.
It was of little use to Cilic having won twice in Moscow. At no time did he have a choice against a rival who did not grant him a single ‘break’ ball and that was done up to three times with his serve.
There is no better team in the world than Russia, the favorite for the 2021 Davis Cup title. Daniil Medvedev (2), Andrey Rublev (6), Karatsev (18) y Karen Khachanov (30) They are among the top 30 rackets.
