Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction
Tsitsipas at this price is attractive, knowing what he’s capable of when he’s at the peak of his powers. The problem is Tsitsipas has had trouble figuring out Alcaraz, and this doesn’t seem like the surface where that’s going to change. If Tsitsipas gets off to a sluggish start, those doubts from previous matches are going to come into play as well. On paper, this is a must-watch match with two stars on the men’s side, but there’s a lot pointing toward Alcaraz rolling to the semifinals.
Give me Alcaraz in 4 sets.
