Novak Djokovic vs Aslan Karatsev Prediction and Betting Tips (24.04.2021)

Command Analysis

Novak Djokovic

Serbia

Looks like Djokovic is seriously motivated for that competition. He failed at Monte-Carlo and now will try to redeem himself at Belgrade tournament. So far he is doing great. In first round he left no chance to Korean player Kwong (6:1, 6:3) and then to his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic (6:1, 6:3).

Novak has two titles of Belgrade tournament, but they were claimed in 2009 and 2011. This tournament wasn't held for a long time, only in this year competition returned to Serbia thanks to Novak.

Aslan Karatsev

Russian Federation

After solid play on hard surface Karatsev had slow down a little. At Miami Russian player was beaten by Sebastian Korda in the third round. At Monte-Carlo Karatsev didn't impress too. After a victory over Lorenzo Musetti (6:3, 6:4) he fell down to Stephanos Tsitsipas (3:6, 4:6).

But Belgrade tournament is so far going good for Russian. On the road to the semi-final he beat Aljaz Bedene (6:3, 4:6, 7:6) and Gianluca Mager (6:3, 6:4). Probably this tournament will be successful for Karatsev. In previous year he was performing great on clay.
