Nightmare for defenders - Aleksandar Karakasevic!

In the first round of Czech Open 2015 Ruwen Filus had a difficult opponent - experienced Serbian veteran - Aleksandar Karakasevic. Ruwen Filus recently played his first final - Belarus Open 2015 . He lost in finals to Li Ping from Qatar. Anyways, Ruwen Filus is not the type of player you wish to play if you don't have to. But for Aleksandar Karakasevic, long pips on backhand and very precise forehand of Ruwen Filus didn't seem to bother him too much, as he won 4 games to 1 in the round of 64 at Czech Open 2015.

As the time goes by, he gets better!
Then came the round of 32, another defender, but from different continent - Shiono Masato from Japan - winner of Japan Open 2013, and interestingly winner of Czech Open 2013. Shiono had troubles of adjusting his game ever since the introduction of new poly balls. Looks like Karakasevic figured out how to use that against him :

"I was down three games to one and losing 4-7, then three-two and losing 3-7, before at three-three being behind 4-7", smiled Aleksandar Karakasevic. "I really thought at at three-one for him i had no chance"

Eventually Kara won the match 4 games to 3. It is safe to say, that Karakasevic is like a wine, as he gets older - he gets better!
