Aslan Karatsev would be riding high on confidence after what transpired in his last encounter. The unseeded player went past fifth-seeded Hubert Hurkacz in a hard-fought encounter. After dropping the opening set, Aslan made a terrific comeback and confirmed his place in the final 8.
Prior to that, Karatsev thrashed Argentinian tennis star Federico Delbonis in straight sets with relative ease. Despite being the top-seeded player at Astana Open, Karatsev was knocked out in the very first round by Emil Ruusuvuori. However, it seems like the Russian has well and truly regained his confidence.
On the other hand, Grigor Dimitrov absolutely destroyed August Holmgren in his previous encounter. Grigor looked in control throughout the game and August simply had no chance whatsoever of scripting a comeback. However, now the Bulgarian tennis star has a tough task ahead of him.

These two players have played against each other only on one occasion and in that match-up, Karatsev emerged victoriously. Hence, the head-to-head record stands 1-0 in Karatsev’s favor.

Grigor Dimitrov has started off pretty well as the San Diego Open. Although he was stretched to three sets in his first round, he made up for the shaky start by winning his second round in style. However, his journey might come to an end in the quarter-finals as Karatsev will walk into the encounter as a firm favorite.
Prediction: Aslan Karatsev to win in 3-sets.
