Match Betting Previews
Carlos Alcaraz versus Stefanos Tsitsipas
Carlos Alcaraz’ ability to demoralize and make opponents look silly has been a truly entertaining thing to watch in his short career.
The Spaniard is making strides to get his hands on the second Grand Slam of his career, and there will be huge efforts to make sure he gets there.
His game has surpassed all levels at his age, and he seriously has the trajectory to become the next GOAT candidate in the sport.
Alcaraz has done well up to this point in the tournament, and he will have a challenging matchup versus a fellow top five player.
Alcaraz has been generating massive power off both wings when he gets into the rally, but his ability to lob defensively and create dropshot opportunities has been his biggest strength.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is having a great tournament and after surviving a few tough matches, finds himself in a great spot to prove the haters wrong once again.
A match where he will be a rare underdog in these conditions, Stef has to get off to a hot start.
Not missing first serves and making Alcaraz expend energy will be crucial.
He cannot get off to 0:30 or 0:15 starts on his own serve and should look to push his forehand as much as possible.
The backhand will be a weakness that will most likely be targeted, so he needs to be prepared for these different angles coming his way.
Betting Prediction - Carlos Alcaraz to win by the -1.5-set handicap and the over games.
Holger Rune versus Casper Ruud
Holger Rune and Casper Ruud will lock horns for a battle of the best Scandinavian tennis players, and both of them have equal opportunity in this bout.
Rune has made several improvements on his game in 2023, but his stamina remains a steady problem. Rune has all the shots in the book, and he plays with a ton of confidence.
However, he may struggle in this match particularly with how Ruud likes to stay patient.
His conditioning has become better, but this match will still come down to the wire.
Ruud leads the H2H by four wins to one, and this one will be the most tightly contested one yet.
