Rafael Nadal vs Carlos Alcaraz H2H Record
Head to Head: 1-0
Nadal leads the head to head record winning the only encounter they had previously at the Madrid Masters last year with the 35-year-old winning in straight sets.
Prediction
If one is a legendary player with a tremendous amount of skills then another is a rising star with the same. Both the players have been in scintillating form this year so far.
Alcaraz will be having some physical advantage over Nadal but on the other hand, the 21-times Grand Slam champion will outshine the younger opponent with his brilliant tactics. With his strong backhand and forehand, Nadal can, especially this season cause trouble to any of his opponents so the favour goes for the King of Clay.
