Karatsev vs Van Assche Head-to-Head

Aslan Karatsev and Luca Van Assche have never played each other on the ATP Tour or at any level. This first-round match will be their first meeting on tour.

Karatsev vs Van Assche Prediction

World no. 49 Aslan Karatsev will face French youngster Luca Van Assche in perhaps the most open first-round match between two unseeded players. Karatsev has experience on his wing and perhaps the better all-around game to suit on any surface but remains wildly inconsistent, which is why this match is tough to call from a winner’s perspective.

Van Assche is making his Wimbledon main draw debut. The 19-year-old has fast-tracked his rise into the top 100 after winning two ATP Challenger titles this season. His last taste of grand slam competition was at the French Open where he defeated Marco Cecchinato in his opening match. Could the French teenager follow it up by beating a veteran again? Looking at the odds, it may be best to leave this match out of your parlays, but the most obvious play is the sets spread, over 3.5 – which means we only need both players to win at least a set here.
