Karatsev vs Chardy: can the Russian beat Jeremy?
On June 29, Aslan Karatsev will go against Jeremy Chardy in the first round of Wimbledon. Will the Russian be able to get a victory? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Aslan Karatsev

Karatsevwill play at Wimbledon for the first time in his career. The Russian hasn't played so many matches on grass courts. The upcoming matchup against Jeremy Chardy will be only his eighth appearance on this surface. Just before the start of Wimbledon, Aslan played at a tournament in London, where he won a strong-willed victory over Chilean Alejandro Tabilo in the first round (3-6, 6-4, 6-2), but then he lost to Cameron Norrie (5-7, 2-6).

Jeremy Chardy

Chardy didn’t start so well on grass this season. In the first round in Stuttgart, Jeremy lost to Yannick Hanfmann (4-6, 4-6), and in London, he lost in the opening match to Alexander Bublik (4-6, 6-3, 3-6). So we can say for sure that Jeremy isn't approaching Wimbledon in the best mood. We would like to remind you, that Chardy's best result at Wimbledon was when he reached the fourth round of the competition back in 2014.

Ставка1st set: total under 9.5
Less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set in 4 of Karacev's last 5 matches.

Tip and bets
Chardy certainly has more experience playing on grass courts. But do not forget, that in the current season the Frenchman showed nothing special on grass. We believe that it is worth giving preference to Karatsev this time: his aggressive attacking style will be extremely difficult to play against for Chardy.
Our prediction - Karatsev to win
Chardy did not have the best two matches on grass before the start of the Major. If he doesn't improve dramatically, he has nothing to count on at Wimbledon. We expect a confident victory for Karatsev in the upcoming match.
Second prediction - total under 40 games
