Tip and bets
The opponents met two months ago at the Masters in Monte Carlo. In that match, Korda defeated Alcaraz in three sets (7:6, 6:7, 6:3). Today, the Spaniard is more determined to win, but we think that Korda will not make it easy for him. We expect a long battle and suggest taking the over.
Our prediction — total over 33.5 games
Korda is a very talented tennis player, but clay is not his favorite surface. Despite that, we believe he will have a good performance in the upcoming match and maintain the handicap of 7.5 games. We will be backing the underdog.
Second prediction — handicap (+7.5) to Korda
