Head-to-head stats

This will be the 3rd time these two players will face each other. Frances Tiafoe got a win over Alcaraz in Barcelona 3 years ago, which turned out to be one of the biggest upsets in the tournament. The Spaniard, however, got the better of the USA player as he beat him in the semi-finals of the US Open 2022 in one of the most intense games of that tournament.

Odds

Predictions

Though the stats between the two players are evenly matched we have to say that Alcaraz will be the favorite going into the match. Being one of the highest-seeded players he is also ahead in the odds. He is the in-form player right now and will be looking to continue his title defence this season. We never know what will happen in the game, but the people will be putting their money on an in-form Carlos Alcaraz.
