Alcaraz — Cilic. Forecast for the ATP Doha match
Alcaraz and Cilic will meet in the first round of the Doha tournament on February 17. Cilic, frankly speaking, was unlucky with the draw - in the first round he will fight one of the main favorites for the title in Doha. How will the upcoming match turn out for the Croatian veteran? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Carlos Alcaraz
SpainCurrent form
Alcaraz won the title in Rotterdam in early February. In the final of those competitions, he beat Alex De Minaur. The Spaniard has nine wins this season with only one loss.
Professional qualities
His physical attributes, impeccable technique and fighter's mentality made Alcaraz a real superstar. The Spaniard has practically no weak points. He has no equal on dirt and grass, and he can also do something on the open hard court. Besides, Carlos has already learned how to play Indore, where he won the title in Rotterdam a week earlier.
Current indicators in the tour
His victory at the Rotterdam tournament in early February earned Alcaraz the 18th ATP title of his career. Carlos is currently in third place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Alcaraz has won 7 of the last 8 matches against tennis players who are not in the top 100 of the world rankings.
Marin Cilic
Croatia (Hrvatska)Current form
For Cilic, the upcoming match will be the first of the season. Marin is still struggling with the effects of knee surgery. Last season, the Croat played only 21 matches, in which he scored ten victories.
Professional qualities
Cilic is regularly bailed out by a powerful flat serve. He is also active in the draws — his forehand is capable of causing a lot of problems to his rivals. The Croat's backhand remains stable, although he no longer punches as powerfully as before. Marina's additional trump cards are high—quality cut shots and confident play at the net. However, recently the Croat lacks mobility, which limits his opportunities in long draws.
Current indicators in the tour
Cilic is a former world number three. He is currently ranked 195th in the world rankings. The Croat has won 25 trophies in his career, 21 of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Marin won the title at the Hangzhou tournament.
Interesting facts for betting
Cilic played his last official match in early November last year.
