Russia (bbabo.net), - Last year's Australian Open semi-finalist Russian Aslan Karatsev lost this time in the third round of the competition.

In the third round match, Karatsev met with a strong Frenchman Adrian Mannarino. In the first set, the rivals determined the strongest in a tie-break, where the luck was with the Frenchman - 7:4. The second also required an extra game, but this time Karatsev won with the same score. The Russian faltered at the end of the third installment, when Mannarino won two games in a row with the score 5:5. Despite all attempts to turn the tide of the fight, Karatsev also lost the fourth set - 4:6.

Mannarino in the next match will play with Rafael Nadal, who previously defeated another Russian Karen Khachanov.
