During the clay swing, Aslan Karatsev was able to break free from his prolonged slump on the main tour and regain some much-needed confidence and momentum. His notable accomplishments include reaching the Madrid Masters semifinals and winning four matches as a qualifier at the French Open. However, the clay season ended just as Karatsev was beginning to find his rhythm and produce positive results. The real challenge for him now is to maintain his progress while transitioning to his least favourite surface, grass. Throughout his career, the former world number 14 has struggled on grass. He has only won three of his previous 12 matches on this surface and has failed in the qualifying stages in both of his previous ATP Stuttgart campaigns.
Corentin Moutet has struggled this year due to a wrist injury that has forced him to change his backhand style. Given that he is still in the early stages of his return from injury and adaptation to the new technique, his recent performance has been commendable. He defeated Andrey Rublev in the French Open and Dominic Thiem in the Bordeaux Challenger. Throughout his career, the ATP Stuttgart debutant has had limited success on grass, winning only six of 11 matches played on this surface. Moutet, on the other hand, has cleared the first-round hurdle in three of the four tour-level events on grass in which he has competed so far.
