Tu is a middling Australian who has spent most of his career in challengers. We don't think Lee has the technical skills to compete on equal terms with Alcaraz. We think the Spaniard will deal with his opponent without any problems.

Our prediction is Alcaraz's victory with a handicap of (-11) games at odds of 2.12
