Happy birthday, Aslan 🙌 What’s your favourite Karatsev match this year?

Seriously though, this takes so much heart, hats off to this guy. He literally turned his life around. He never gave up, and after so many years of struggles and frustration, he has made an exponential rise to the top. Once he gets used to playing consistently as a top ranked player, it's trouble.

Who remembers when he got revenge beating Djokovic at the Serbia open, saving over 20 break points. Plus his style of play? Instant fan he’s a beast

He also took silver in Tokyo with Vesnina and was finalist in mixed doubles at Roland Garros. Amazing!

I would be very surprised if he's not chosen as most improved player of 2021 in the year end awards

I've been waiting for this video a long time ago! The sky rocket rise of Karatsev is an inspiring history for all the athletes out there who are struggling for break through in any sport. Shout out to Aslan and all the team behind him.

If he maintains his mental level, it's a matter of time for him to break into the top 10

King Aslan he's an icon, he's a legend and he is the moment.

Imagine being into top 50 before being into top 100. Many more happy RETURNS of the day to him.

I remembered the commentator in Aussie open 2021 " And the Cinderella story of Ask am Karatsev continues " ⚠️⬆️🔝✅

Karatsev in Dubai was one of the best weeks of 2021, he was absolute beast with such entertaining way of playing (love his backhand change of direction)

I'd like to see him to be covered more by media , ATP and sponsors! Not many stories and talks about him unfortunately! Not everyone can have a breakthrough like he has at his age, after so many downfalls...

I remember his run in my hometown Slam, the Aussie Open, and it was literally unprecedented. Not just astonishing results but attacking intent to boot! The way he has back it up is so admirable. He really shows people what hard work and sticking to your dreams can do. Hope to see a lot more of Aslan.

Absolutely love this guy. Wish all the best for him in the future.

Him beating Novak in Serbia has to be the craziest things I’ve seen so far

So proud to be from the same town as Aslan

There hasn't been as obvious a winner of the most improved player on the ATP tour since unseeded Agassi won the US Open

Brilliant King Aslan, stunning shots, intelligent manner of playing… MUCH IS AHEAD!!!! Congrats Aslan!!! Keep moving on!!! Good Luck!!! Keep safe!!! ❤️❤️❤️🌟😇👑🏆❤️❤️

Next is to do well in the match with Brooksby, give it all in the US open, recharge mental and physical batteries, and continue making history!

How can you start this video from St. Petersburg? What about the brilliant series he had in Czech Challengers right after the restart, which made him jump 140 ranking places, and likely made the tournament organizers give him that aforementioned wildcard. A missed opportunity to market the ATP Challenger Tour to a wider public.

Gotta love this guy. Huge respect

bro is majestic

This is the guy to watch. Definitely has qualities to be top 5 player. Hopefully he pushes through the next few years to rise up becos as a sportsman at those levels, the lifespan is not long. Really enjoy watching his ball hitting abilities. That forehand with a wrist flick produces a wicked speed👍👍

Really hope he can have a good run at U.S Open

No scenes of him in the Challengers; that's what the stepping stones for him to get to the tour.

Mike Tyson of tennis. The sport needs him and his game style

The win over Djokovic in Belgrade gave such BDE

Аслан красавец ваще в натуре🤘💪🦾

Fast forward to today he’s in another final and world no 19

Karatsev V Sinner was insane. Sinner hits hard....but Karatsev is pure cannon

I think he lost some pace in his shots lately, can be noticed at the US Open. Don't know if it's the toll of the season or lack of confidence. Courts are playing fast so he should be taking advantage of that and have a good run there.

He deserve! Thanks for this great video!

Aslan karatsev on Another level. !

С днем рождения! Наше секретное оружие! Удачи!

Beautiful compilation

Great video !

It's August 2021 now. My question is why there is no more development of him. I expected him to be in the top 10 by now, but he is still in the mid-20s ranking so far, 23rd at the highest.

He is great but has to keep it up :-)

Great period for the Russians! and if one considers also those genetically Russian playing under another nationality, it is truly impressive

GOAT AKA The Secret Weapon

Hbd bro

THE GOAT ! please beat brooskby to go face novak

My favorite 🤩

Best ball striker on Tour. Even on the video you can feel how heavy his ball is. It is a different feeling from Rublev (who is a big striker as well). It really feels effortless. I wonder if it is coming from his (massive) legs?

Yesterday Aslan made great match! after 0-2 came back and bet american guy, My Congrats!

well.. let me tell how i understand it... Aslan was gaining 'some' confidence while he lost to Karen during that st. pet open.. the actual turn around and critical moment of his career was the ATP cup.. playing in challengers all this while and when you rub shoulders top guys like Medvedev, Rublev etc, you gain so much confidence... and Medvedev mentioning him as a secret weapon really was one liner that made him believe in himself.. and he turned fearless after that.. and went ahead like a hunter.. he did not care the seeding nor the opponent.. he went guns blazing with his style and he sure was surprised with himself.. once he felt the hang of being deep into tourneys, he is settling in now.. there is no doubt about his talent.. and there are many in challengers who play really good but do not get the spring board momentum.. once you feel good and strong within.. you are gonna roll.. its all in the mind.. cheers!

Amazing Aslan! 😍

Kinda funny to see this vid because he has somehow been even more successful on the mixed doubles circuit.

You know why Karatsev is my main man? He beat Djokovic, in his prime, on his home soil the second time they met! LOL! That's gotta feel good for all the people who aren't Djokovic's fans...

After Stan, he has the mentality and best game to beat peak Djokovic, so many other have as well-Tsitsipas, zverev, Medvedev, musetti but none have the strength and consistency to stay

Much more impressive than Raducanu WTA circus. The last played to break onto the scene like this, was Tsonga although he was much younger.

un grand champion 💪

Right now his results are not that good, but still his meteoric rise is unbelievable AND i am rooting for Djokovic x Karatsev rematch in New York

Amazing his rise.

0:43 Holy crap Look at those calves

Inspiring

karatsev has more atp 500s than richard gasquet

Seeing this video practically two years later reminds me how things may turn around against you

lmfaoo one of my new favorite players. but my boi always lookin like he just ran an ultra marathon after every match XD

Who needs new racket technology when you can crush the ball like that with a Head PT57A that is almost as old as Aslan...

fenominal player

How about a final on home soil in moscow?

Красавчик👏💪🙏

took a bit of time, but Karatsev is back in Madrid 2023 !

yeah, what happened after 2021? Please update the video

He must feel dizzy after the meteoric rise

At the last u said what's next I think for arslan this Australian Open 2022

can you do about holger rune,upcoming prodigy,kid is unique.

Grand Slam Champion

Excellent video just wanted some Aussie open highlights lmao

Aslan’s achievement is so close to mine, as i managed as well and in only four months to learn how to make popcorn single handed

I don't want to see a video of the rise and fall of aslan kratasev

Today he has a chance to get back to #35 (entried Madrid #120) having another lucky draw rounder - LL in semifinal This tournament is really lucky for him, the lower his rankings the better he plays

Лев 🦁

Это лучший матч Аслана! Будут ещё в 2022 году...

マジでとんでもないテニス選手が出てきた笑 東京オリンピック混合ダブルスでも銀メダル🥈を取ってることもお忘れなく！！

There is a need for sustainable aggression with a definite formula instead of the ´trainwreck´ tempo that Karatsev plays at _every_ match. You can't be doing: drive-volley winner, forehand long, forehand into the net, acute angle backhand winner, forehand wide, backhand down-the-line howitzer, backhand shank and expect to win many (if any) Masters 1000 tournaments or Slams

How things change in almost a year

GOAT

Ставка №3: Монфис - Синнер, 2 (-3): К1.93 (Проход: 75-80%) - в лайве: в случае брейка - удваиваемся и добираем Синнера с (+) форой!

ironically, he lost yesterday/today (depending on where u are), but yeah he came from nowhere!

Karatsev the big calves

His ONE-AND-ONLY secret : he SIMPLY plays the BEST racket out there - the HEAD Prestige ... I couldn't resist MYSELF - and IT brought me nothing but HAPPY TIMES, wins and wins and WINS again - and the respect & ENVY & highest esteem of my fellow tennis players ... praised be HEAD and eulogised be THE PRESTIGE (also a very good movie by Christopher Nolan, the creator of the GLORIFIED Batman triology) !

He is cool as cucumber

Karatsev had a great year up to and including beating Djokovic in Belgrade in April and the two Masters thereafter. However, not so great since then on grass and hard courts.

Happy 28th Aslan...Stop beating Djokovic we want to see history. LOL

Where is he now?

If Karatsev meets Nole at USO, he will be trashed. Nole wasn't at his best in Belgrade, he was tired, but now Karatsev has no chance.

This video should have been made way earlier

will he win a slam?

Next up: The rise of Jenson Brooksby!

Pretty sure it was dope

3:20 sounded like Kermit 🤣

Aslan me sportsmam

Rising star Aslan vs Home boy Brooksby, who will win?

I guess doubles doesn’t interest the atp.

I have no doubt that He has 10% of Sampra's DNA.

👏👏👏👍👍👍

Aslan GOATsev*

Lol not showing footage from the slams
