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.
Carlos Alcaraz
