Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul – match predictions
Contents
As Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul battle for a place in the quarter-final of the Cincinnati Open, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Tommy Paul to win at least one set
Carlos Alcaraz is the overwhelming favourite to win this match; which makes sense considering he’s the current World number 1, and has won more titles or reached more finals than any other player on the ATP Tour. However, it’s important to point out that the Spaniard currently trails the head-to-head between these players; as he lost two of three previous encounters with Tommy Paul. In fact, the reigning Wimbledon champion lost to Tommy Paul at the Canadian Open a few days ago: and on that note, we believe there’s a lot of value in backing Paul to not go down in straight sets.
Tommy Paul to cover +4.5 games
We’ve already established that this will be the fourth encounter between these players. Although Tommy Paul lost one of those meetings, he covered +4.5 games in that loss. The American player has impressed lately, winning six of his last seven matches; and considering he covered this spread in all of his encounters with Carlos Alcaraz, we are fairly confident that Paul will do just enough to cover +4.5 games today.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul preview
With our Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul predictions sorted out, let’s take a look at both players’ recent results.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz crashed out in the quarter-final of the Toronto Open last week, at the hands of Tommy Paul. He bounced back from that loss with a three-sets victory over Jordan Thompson yesterday. The current World number 1 will look to avenge last week’s loss as he takes on the American player today.
Tommy Paul
On the other hand, Tommy Paul knocked out Ugo Humbert and Miomir Kecmanovic in the previous two rounds, both in straight sets. The American has put up a solid run of results, winning six of his last seven matches. It’ll be interesting to see how Paul will match-up against World number 1 Carlos Alcaraz as he faces the Spaniard for the second consecutive week.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul head to head
These players met on three occasions since August last year, and interestingly, Tommy Paul won two of those clashes. As a matter of fact, Paul defeated Alcaraz just last week at the Canadian Open. All previous skirmishes between these players took place on outdoor hard courts.
