LiontipsAlcaraz—Martinez. ATP Rotterdam match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Alcaraz beat Andrea Vavassori 6-2, 6-1 in two games in the second round of the Rotterdam competition. In the confrontation with the Italian, Carlos made one ace, made five break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. In the first round, the Spaniard broke the resistance of Botik Van de Sandschulp.
Professional qualities
No one on the tour can boast as much variety in the game as Alcaraz. He knows all the elements of tennis at a high level, and has perfected some of them. The Spaniard's main weapon is his phenomenal physical fitness, which allows him to control draws of any duration. However, its presentation is not considered a reference, and the adaptation to the halls leaves much to be desired, which negatively affects the results.
Current indicators in the tour
The third place in the world ranking is currently occupied by Alcaraz. The Spaniard finished last season with four trophies - he won in Indian Wells and Beijing, and also won cups at Rolland Garros and Wimbledon. In total, Carlos has won 25 trophies in his career, 17 of which are in the ATP category.
Interesting facts for betting
Alcaraz has 11 consecutive victories over his compatriots.
Current form
Martinez reached the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam tournament, beating Holger Rune in two sets (6-4, 6-1). Pedro scored four break points against the Dane and lost one game on his serve. In the first round, the Spaniard beat his compatriot Roberto Bautista-Agut.
Professional qualities
Martinez's strengths are excellent movement, high endurance and incredible tenacity. However, his serve and attacking strokes are not powerful enough, which is why he has serious difficulties on fast surfaces. In such conditions, he rarely beats strong opponents, and he has almost no chance against the top players.
Current indicators in the tour
Martinez is currently ranked 44th in the world. The Spaniard has won 16 trophies in his career, one of which is the ATP category. Last season, Pedro won two home clay challengers - in Girona and Valencia.
Interesting facts for betting
Martinez has lost six previous meetings with tennis players from the top 5 of the world ranking.

1.23Tip and bets
It was not without luck that Martinez reached the quarterfinals of the Rotterdam tournament. The Spaniard was certainly lucky to take advantage of Bautista Agut's poor form and Rune's health problems. However, in the upcoming match against Alcaraz, he should hardly count on such luck. We expect a confident victory for Carlos in this pair.
Our prediction is that Alcaraz will win with a handicap of (-6) games for a coefficient of 1.97

We don't think this fight will last long. Alcaraz is the undisputed favorite in this pair. Carlos will have the advantage of playing number one on both serve and reception, and will be able to finish the match in two quick sets.
The second forecast is a total of less than 19 games for a coefficient of 1.83

In three of Martinez's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We expect that the upcoming match against Alcaraz will also start with the "grassroots" first game.
