Russian tennis player Aslan Karatsev served well and played with discipline in the quarterfinal match of the Masters in Madrid against the Chinese Zhang Zhizhen, Vice-President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Alexei Selivanenko told RB Sport.

— Aslan played very disciplined today, served well, played wide and used his chance on the tie-break of the first set and then when converting a break point in the second.

How unexpected does this result of Aslan look after a long period of failures? Tennis is interesting because it always has a place for such stories with the release of players from the qualifying stages and the passage to the main matches. This once again shows how even the level of the players of the tour, – said Selivanenko.

For the first time in his career, Karatsev reached the semi-finals of the Masters tournament. The next opponent of the 29-year-old Russian, who qualified for the main draw of the tournament, will be the winner of the confrontation between Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece, 4th seed) and Jan-Lennard Struff (Germany).
