van Rijthoven, Tim - Karatsev, Aslan

Pune ATP

The second round of the Pune tournament in the 8 racket Karatsev handled Andujar very easily, but that was to be expected as Andujar barely breaks. Rijthoven broke through last season and I believe that the Dutchman's rise in the ATP ranking will continue. I don't really remember when Karatsev celebrated two victories in the tournament 😁 it happened only in July on the clay surface, and after that it was a very long time, so it's hard to expect a good game from the staff player. The Russian has been accused of betting before and is under investigation. Van Rijthoven is playing very well on hard court and with a good serve he made 14 aces in his first match at the Pune tournament. Although Karatsev can win against the Dutchman, I believe that Rijthoven will play very well and not lose such pluses, especially when he shows a very good game on his serve, and a break is always a big chance
