The match between Aslan Karatsev and Ben Shelton promises to be an exciting final in Tokyo. Karatsev has shown excellent play throughout the tournament, not losing a single set. He demonstrates powerful shots to the corners and excellent serving. His experience and confidence could be the key to victory in this match. On the other hand, Shelton has shown a debut final at the ATP level and is gaining form as the tournament progresses. However, his game is not as consistent as Karatsev's, and he had difficulties in several matches before securing a win. Karatsev has the advantage of experience in finals and already has three titles in his career. His game visually resembles his successes in 2021. He takes the initiative aggressively and plays accurately. Such an experience advantage can give him the edge in this match. Taking these factors into account, my prediction is a victory for Aslan Karatsev. He has shown more consistent play and has experience in finals. However, Shelton could give him serious resistance, and the match could be unpredictable.
Forecast: Shelton's victory. Arguments: 1. Karatsev does not show stability in the game against left-handers, which can cause problems for him against Shelton. 2. Shelton has a high first serve percentage, allowing him to maintain initiative in the match. 3. In Karatsev's recent matches against left-handers, he was unable to secure a victory, indicating his weaknesses against such opponents. 4. Shelton has shown good results throughout the tournament and has a high level of confidence after navigating a tough draw. 5. Shelton's physical stamina and youth can be advantages in this match.
