Carlos Alcaraz vs Taro Daniel – Match Predictions
Contents
Carlos Alcaraz to win and total under 29.5 games
Alcaraz is on a completely different level on clay compared to Daniel. The Japanese has won a set previously against Alcaraz but that will not be the case this time around. Alcaraz will keep his foot on the gas during the entire match and will break quickly in every set which will eventually lead to his win in a match of under 29.5 games.
First set 6-8 games
Alcaraz started strong in the opening round winning the opening set without losing a game to Cobolli and he will have a similar start against Daniel as well. The Japanese will not be able to win more than two games in the opener and that will set the tone for the rest of the match.
