For Karatsev, the tournament in Munich is the third tournament on clay this season. Before Bayern, the Russian failed in Sanremo, where he lost to the Belgian Koppeyans, and in Marrakech, where he was weaker than the Italian Passaro. But in Munich, Karatsev already has two victories in two qualifying matches over the Dutchman Hase and the German Wessels, the first victory in three matches, the second in two. The elimination final with Wessels lasted an hour and 9 minutes, it was won by Karacew with the score 6:2, 6:2. During the match, Aslan served twice without double faults, scoring 50% on his first serve and 52% on his second. Acceptance statistics: 50%/52%.

The German flew to Munich from the USA, where he won the Challenger in Sarrasott, beating the world’s 96th rocket Galana in the final in two matches. During the draw, Germany turned out to be stronger than American Damm, Belgian Bergs, Canadian Diallo and French Coco. Prior to Sarrassota, Karatsev suffered a defeat at the Houston tournament. Overall, for the German, the Stuttgart tournament will be the first in Europe since 2022, which is quite a rare case for a European considering how many tournaments have already been played in the Old World.
