Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner Prediction
You can make a case for either player, as both Sinner and Alcaraz have been fabulous this year, and in this tournament in particular. Sinner and the plus money probably is the better value play. However, I just trust Alcaraz more on this surface and these conditions. Alcaraz is at his best on clay, and he seems to be getting stronger each match. Sinner doesn’t look as comfortable on clay in terms of movement, and he has piled up the unforced errors in recent matches.
Again, this is expected to be a long, competitive match. I’m still rolling with Alcaraz. Give me Alcaraz in a classic 5 setter.
