Prediction
Carlos Alcaraz, after defeating his idol and 21-times Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal on clay, is set to face World No. 1, Novak Djokovic. Back to back legends for the 19-year-old star from Spain. Alcaraz had an intense match against Nadal, he even broke his ankle during the match but it seemed nothing serious as he was back to defeat the King of Clay at home ground.
On the other hand, Djokovic has played just three tournaments before Madrid Open were two of them ended early for the Serb. He has a win-loss record of 7-3 while the Spaniard has 25-3. On clay, they are 13-1 and 5-2 respectively.
Alcaraz has beaten quality players their tennis season and it has been proved his best season so far. The teen sensation is the only teenager to beat Rafael Nadal on clay. Despite all this, the No. 1 ATP player, who continues to be on top of the ATP ranking despite missing several tournaments, is a heavy favourite for the match as well as the tournament after Nadal’s departure. Only physical problems can cause trouble for the player from Serbia.
