Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniel Evans – Match Predictions
Contents
Over 17.5 Games
It is difficult to see past Carlos Alcaraz in this meeting. The Spaniard is on song and has gotten over every hurdle that has stood in his path. Despite punching above his weight, Evans is out of his depth and will be swatted aside. Their last encounter when Alcaraz was just making his name finished with 19 games with Evans failing on saving five breakpoints. This meeting should follow a similar route and we should see Over 17.5 Games in this duel.
2-0 to Carlos Alcaraz
Cerundolo made Evans work hard for a place in the semi-finals. The road to Barcelona finals goes through the reigning champions, an even stiffer obstacle. Alcaraz has not dropped a set in his last 12 wins and it does not look likely that Evans will be changing those statistics. We are anticipating a straight-sets victory for the Spaniard, as was the case when they met in Vienna two years back.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniel Evans Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz won his quarterfinal match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the ATP Barcelona tournament in straight sets, 7-6 6-4. Alcaraz, who is a former world #1, has had an unconvincing performance so far this year, conceding his serve seven times in three matches this week.
However, he has managed to reach the semifinals in all five main tour events he has played in 2023. Alcaraz won the Barcelona Open in 2022, despite dropping sets in previous matches. In his recent outing at Miami Masters, he lost in the semifinals to Jannik Sinner.
Daniel Evans
Dan Evans has had an interesting 2023 season. He struggled to win on hard surfaces at the start of the year but has since had some success on clay, a surface he typically doesn’t do well on. He recently made it to the semifinals of the Marrakech tournament and has now caused upsets by beating Karen Khachanov and Francisco Cerundolo in Barcelona’s 500, earning himself a spot in the semifinals. However, he has lost in his two previous clay court semifinals and faces a tough challenge to progress further.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniel Evans Head to Head
This is the second meeting between Alcaraz and Evans on the ATP tour. Their first meeting in Vienna two years back saw the Spaniard triumphing in straight sets, saving five breakpoints in the process.
