Zhizhen Zhang vs Aslan Karatsev Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Zhizhen Zhang
Zhizhen Zhang, a 26-year-old tennis player from China, has become the first player from his country to reach the quarterfinals of a Masters event. He has been winning closely fought matches at the Madrid Masters and has become a crowd favourite. His last three wins have been comeback affairs against top-30 players which would have surely boosted his confidence, as he had previously experienced some tough defeats. Zhang’s aim is to emulate his compatriot Yibing Wu’s ATP title win a few months ago, but he will need a stroke of luck to achieve this.
Aslan Karatsev
Earlier this year, Aslan Karatsev struggled through a bad patch, experiencing seven losses in nine matches, including defeats to underdogs like Kimmer Coppejans and Francesco Passaro. However, the former world #14 tennis player has bounced back from a slump in his rankings, winning six consecutive matches at the Madrid Masters. He defeated top players like Alex de Minaur and Daniil Medvedev to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
