Aslan Karatsev vs Sebastian Korda : Preview
Aslan Karatsev has made an explosive start for the 2021 season. The Russian except for the Doha Open has made it to the semi-finals of every tournament both in singles and doubles.

Coming into the tie, Karatsev had his first game bye and won comfortably in straight sets (6-4 6-3) in his 2nd round victory.

Sebastian made a good start in January but has since then found it difficult to continue his form. He has gone out in straight sets and has exposed his difficulties in the matches.
