Prediction
Carlos Alcaraz and Marin Cilic are set to meet again for the third time tomorrow at Cincinnati Open 2022.
Alcaraz has enjoyed a remarkable season thus far, winning 43 of 51 games and amassing four trophies. The Spaniard triumphed at the Rio Open and Barcelona Open in addition to winning two Masters 1000 tournaments in Miami and Madrid.
On the other hand, Cilic has had trouble with his form this year, winning just 25 of his 39 games. The Croatian has recently put together a couple of strong performances after struggling with ailments.
Carlos Alcaraz, the fourth-ranked player in the world, defeated Mackenzie McDonald on Tuesday to earn his 43rd victory of the season, giving him the most victories of any ATP circuit player. Earlier this season, the 19-year-old won four championships in a little more than two months: the Rio Open, Barcelona Open, and two Masters titles in Miami and Madrid.
Alcaraz has recently appeared to suffer from the strain of being the youngest top-five player since Rafael Nadal, but that particular kink should be worked out quickly. Marin Cilic, the 17th-ranked player in the world, is a significant opponent to be drawn against so early in Cincinnati, but the two have a closely contested head-to-head record of 1-1 after Alcaraz defeated the Croat in three sets at Indian Wells.
Although the 33-year-old Cilic has experienced a true comeback this season, making it all the way to the semi-finals at Roland-Garros out of the blue, his narrow victory over Emil Ruusuvuori on Tuesday suggests he is not yet at the level needed to unseat Alcaraz.
Cilic has prevailed in each of their two meetings by taking at least a set, so betting on Alcaraz to win by a wide margin seems like a wise move.
