Cameron Norrie vs Aslan Karatsev preview
Cameron Norrie and Aslan Karatsev will go head-to-head in the second round of the Stockholm Open on Wednesday.
Norrie has produced some fine performances this season that saw him enter the top 10 of the ATP rankings. He reached his maiden Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon and also made it to the last four of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. He also won two titles at the Lyon Open and the Delray Beach Open.
The Brit most recently competed at the Korea Open, where he reached the quarterfinals after defeating Kaichi Uchida 6-2, 6-2. However, he was forced to withdraw from the tournament after testing positive for COVID-19. As a result, he missed the Japan Open.
Karatsev, on the other hand, started the season strong by defeating Andy Murray to win the Sydney International. However, things have gone south for him since then, with his best performance being a quarterfinal finish at the Hamburg European Open and two ATP 250 tournaments.
The 29-year-old recently competed at the Firenze Open in Florence and reached the second round before losing 6-1, 6-7(0), 6-1 to Mikael Ymer. He then entered the Stockholm Open and faced qualifier Lukas Rosol in the first round. The Russian beat the Czech 6-3, 6-2 to seal his place in the second round of the tournament.

Cameron Norrie vs Aslan Karatsev prediction
Norrie has won only two out of five matches since the US Open but will be the favorite entering the match considering Karatsev's form over the past few months.
The Brit isn't the most powerful player around but there is quite a bit of efficiency in his serve and groundstrokes. Norrie is a counterpunch who loves to construct his points carefully before pouncing. He is also capable of forcing his opponents to make unforced errors, a trick that might work on Karatsev.
The Russian loves to hit his shots with a lot of power, but he often loses concentration and hits unforced errors. He will have to bring his A-game if he is to come out on top on Wednesday.
Norrie will look to have a good run in Stockholm and should not have much trouble getting the better of Karatsev.
Pick: Norrie to win in straight sets.
