Carlos Alcaraz
SpainCarlos Alcaraz Garfia has been amazing on clay courts this year and has lost only two matches on this surface. However, in the first round of the Hamburg European Open, the young Spanish star looked underwhelming. Despite all predictions, Alcaraz really struggled against the World №259 Nicola Kuhn and surrended the first set in the match (3-6, 6-1, 7-6). He needs to improve his performance if he intends to make a deep run here.
