Aslan Kazbekovich Karatsev (Russian: Аслан Казбекович Карацев, Ossetian: Хъарацаты Хъазыбеджы фырт Аслан; born 4 September 1993) is a Russian professional tennis player. He reached a career-high singles ATP ranking of world No. 14 on 7 February 2022, and peaked at No. 76 in the doubles rankings on 16 May 2022.

In February 2021, Karatsev went through qualifiers for the Australian Open. In his first main draw of a major, ranked 114th, he defeated 8th seed Diego Schwartzman, 20th seed Félix Auger-Aliassime and 18th seed Grigor Dimitrov to reach the semifinals. Karatsev is the first man in the Open Era to reach the semifinals in his Grand Slam debut.[2]

In March 2021, he won his first ATP title at the Qatar Open with Andrey Rublev in doubles.[3] A week later, as a wildcard, Karatsev won his first ATP singles title at the 2021 Dubai Open, beating South African Lloyd Harris in the final. Karatsev, who was unseeded and beat four seeded players to reach the final, joined Wayne Ferreira (1995) and Thomas Muster (1997) in this achievement.[4] As a result, he entered the top 30 of the ATP singles rankings for the first time in his career.[5] On 24 April 2021, Karatsev defeated the world No. 1 Novak Djokovic on his home court at the Serbia Open to reach the final.[6] At the 2020 Summer Olympics, he won the silver medal with Elena Vesnina in mixed doubles.[7][8]
