Watch highlight reel, and compare the sound of the ball off Diego’s racquet to that of his opponent’s. You will have your answer.

im surprised anyone is surprised
off clay hes probably not even top 30. his ranking is only as high as it is because of this incredible deep ultra-strong field we've had lately

I like the guy, but the faster conditions at this year's AO haven't helped either. clay isn't far away now so there's that at least

I just watched it and it's... insane. Karatsev plays Sinner's game better than Sinner himself.
Wonderful racquet head speed. This guy will obliterate FAA.Daniel Andrade

So he seems to be a very good player?I just watched it and it's... insane. Karatsev plays Sinner's game better than Sinner himself.

Karatsev happened. He'd already won his second round match with a WTA-like 0, 1 and 0 so I had identified this as a potential upset... the man is playing unreal for a qualifier debutant.
In this case he hit a bunch of winners off Diego's serve, and, eh, everywhere else for good measure.

If he can keep up with his recent performances, absolutely. Maybe he's just a flash in the pan, but he might as well be a surprise AO finalist - haven't had one of those in a while.

I think his racquet is juiced. From career on challengers ... to suddenly clubbing bigger than Wawrinka.I just watched it and it's... insane. Karatsev plays Sinner's game better than Sinner himself.

From what I've just read [article in french] he had some good challenger performances in 2015, then he got a very bad knee injury and floated between the 300th and 800th rank during the next 5 years.
He started finding a better form in summer 2020 and finished the season with 180 ranking positions gained in 12 months.
He may become the only player in the 21st century to reach a Slam quarterfinal on his first appearance.
This guy is red hot and Dimmy/Timmy should seriously watch out for him.

Anyone know Karatsev's ethnicity? Like Safin he definitely doesn't look 100% Caucasian Russian to me. Just curious.

Aslan got tired of being a lion and living in Narnia and became a pro tennis player from Russia.
These fast-ish courts suit his game. He can definitely beat FAA.

I remember his girlfriend looked stunning in Rome last September.
