Karatsev, Aslan - Ymer, Mikael

Washington ATP tournament on hard surface where in the 1/16 round the 15 racket of the tournament Karatsev 36 ATP meets Ymer 115 ATP. The heat in the Washington ATP tournament is enormous, and the conditions should not change, so I see Ymer's advantage here. Ymer dealt with Murray and played well and the Swede didn't seem too be affected got wheather. Ymer pulled all the balls and, being fast, played very well in the game situations, I was also surprised by his stable serves, even though he got several breaks during the match, the Swede served really well. Russian Karatsev last played on the hard surface at the end of March, and his form is very jumpy. I think the heat can be a serious problem for the Russian, even though the match will take place early. Although the Russian has recently won several meetings, here I choose the very competitive Swede Ymer, who surprised against Murray, so here I think he can handle the unstable opposition of Karatsev
