Karatsev may surprise in the match with Rublev at Wimbledon, Olkhovsky believes
Russian tennis player Aslan Karatsev may surprise in the match of the second round of Wimbledon, although the favorite is Andrei Rublev, Andrey Olkhovsky, winner of two Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles, told RB Sport.
Rublev (7th seed) in the first round of the tournament on Monday beat the Australian Max Purcell with a score of 6:3, 7:5, 6:4, Karatsev was stronger than the French Luc van Asch – 6:7 (4:7), 6 :4, 6:2, 6:4.
– Andriy probably has the status of a favorite in this match. He is a more stable player and ranks higher. But Karatsev may bring a surprise. Aslan is a very dangerous opponent, when he is confident, he has an arsenal of all shots, he has speed, and he is not afraid to come forward to the net. For me, this is a very interesting pair, and I expect a very interesting match,” Olkhovsky said.
Rublev and Karatsev had previously held one personal meeting, in which Aslan turned out to be stronger.
