Tip and bets
Alcaraz Garfia seems to have already adapted to the local courts and is currently demonstrating his best tennis. We believe that the Spanish player has a good chance of winning this tournament, and doubt that Auger-Aliassime, can prevent this, despite his 3-0 lead in the head-to-head. The Canadian is a bit inconsistent of late, and we predict a win for Alcaraz.
Our prediction is a victory for Alcaraz Garfia with a (-3) handicap.
Alcaraz Garfia and Auger Aliassime have already met three times, and their last head-to-head match was quite short. The match took place last year at the tournament in Basel and ended in two sets. We expect the same will happen tonight.
