The prediction

—

An intriguing challenge between two of the best tennis players in the world. Alcaraz is number 2 in the ranking, Tsitsipas 5. The Greek is back in the fight for a title after the Australian Open final lost against Novak Djokovic, following which there was an unhappy period: results below expectations in Rotterdam, Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo. While Alcaraz has lost only two games this year, against 22 victories and two titles (Buenos Aires and Indian Wells) brought home. The Spanish and the Greek are two different interpreters of the game, both are comfortable on clay. So keep an eye out for the possibility that there may be a tight game: the Over 21.5 game is given at 1.91 by LeoVegas, 1.83 by Bet365, 1.80 by Sisal.
