“Our proud Ossetian woke up” – Vesnina about Karatsev’s entry into the semi-finals of the tournament in Madrid

Russian tennis player, Olympic champion in doubles Elena Vesnina commented on the entry of Russian tennis player Aslan Karatsev into the semi-finals of the clay tournament in Madrid.

In the quarter-finals on Thursday, Karatsev defeated Chinese representative Zhang Zhizhen in two sets with a score of 7:6 (7:3), 6:4.

– Our proud Ossetian woke up! Aslan was going through a very difficult period in his career, when he dropped significantly in the rankings, he had no victories at all. But everyone understood that it was all about confidence. He knows how to play well, it was necessary to win a couple of matches in a row and catch the courage. Today with Zhang was a rather difficult match. But Karatsev showed his best aggressive tennis and went further in the class.

The Masters semi-final is a cool achievement. In one tournament, he will rise as much as seventy positions in the ranking. This will be the strongest breakthrough. Aslan has good chances to reach the final. Karatsev won on clay and Djokovic and other strong players. Aslan caught an incredible courage. We must continue to fight and show our best tennis, everything is possible! – quotes the words of Vesnina “Championship”.

In the semi-finals, the Russian tennis player will play with the German Jan-Lennard Struff.
