Carlos Alcaraz to cover -4.5 games @ 3/5 (1.60)

It’s safe to say that Daniel Evans isn’t very keen on meeting Carlos Alcaraz on the court. The British player is currently 0 for 3 against Alcaraz, winning just one set in those three matches. As a matter of fact, the last time these players met at a best-of-three event, Evans managed to win just three games.

On that note, we are backing the former World number 1 to take this in straight sets, and cover the -4.5 games spread.

Over 19.5 total games @ 3/4 (1.75)

While we expect this match to end in two sets, we believe the over/under games line is a bit low for this match, at 19.5. Also, although Carlos Alcaraz’s last five matches ended in straight sets, most of his matches have gone above this line. In fact, 13 of Alcaraz’s last 16 matches in best-of-three tournaments featured at least 20 games. For this reason, we are taking the under option for this match.
