It's funny how Karatsev (whose ranked outside the Top 100 right now) is predicted to win this if he keeps up his form this tournament...and somehow this is NID.

 

All of a sudden , not a surprise , NID , Neeeeext

Can't wait for the match vs Struffy in SF 😁

 

Aslan woke up from his cave to win Madrid...

...only to then wander around challengers until the year-end

 

Karatsev needed to be better than he played against De Minaur, and he was better.

 

de miñaur is doing a decent clay season, for his standards. i mean its his worst surface

 

Karatsev in full flow is actually really fun to watch.

 

Why was medveded crying at the tie-break

 

He was moaning about not having enough place.
He had a point, as Arantxa Sanchez Stadium only has seven metres place behind the baseline.

 

Karatsev when on is just a joy to watch.

Key factor is the serve, which is not always as good as today.

Those cross courts forehands are mindblowing, probably the heaviest in the game.

 

To much complaining from Daniil. Proud on the lion who keeps so calm.

 

Karatsev was too much for the hard court specialist.

 

Throwback video to celebrate this Top 5 win:

 

This song is truly terrible.

 

Hope Karatsev gets at least 600 points here and stays away from challengers.

 

H2H now 4-1 for Aslan (including CH events)

 

This is why i am a fan of Karatsev. Just pure power and agression, absolutely sublime tennis.

 

KING ASLAN 👑🦁

 

This match is so fucking good, I'd buy a Tennis TV to rewatch it.

Never been so proud to be a Karatsev fan. And somehow my signature comes alive again

 

somehow my signature comes alive again

Just delete the 1, add a 3 , not much of a problem

 

this is so random and unexpected from king aslan, love it

 

 

Probably one of the most dominant performances in a tiebreak I have ever seen.

 

I would love to see a Karatsev vs Alcaraz match-up (if both are in top form).

 

I would love to see a Karatsev vs Thiem match up, both in top form, just for an epic MTF reaction . Karatsev has the upper hand in the race right now, will give him that.

 

 

Wow, never in a million years would've I expect that Karatsev will win today 😳 Well done 👍👍👍 and good riddance

 

Peak Era

 

From what I saw (which was only a little bit) Meddy didn’t play that poorly but he had difficulty here controlling his shots so he was hitting a lot of soft balls allowing Karatsev to dictate. Hopefully when he’s not playing in altitude he can swing out more and dictate because that’s what he needs to do on clay to win.

Karat loves soft balls
