Alcaraz, Carlos - Djokovic, Novak

Once again, the Italian is facing a serious opponent, but a particularly talented Italian player after their career compared to Rublev is confronting a different profile but still a beatable opponent. Additionally, even winning just one set is often enough for the Italian, and they have had quite a few 3-0 losses with only 6 games.

Sinner is very solid and easily goes through the tournament, playing well and defeating his opponents 3-0. All of Sinner's opponents were defeated under 31 game totals, so I don't expect any different result from Sinner, especially against Moutet who, to put it mildly, is not a match for the Italian.

Carlitos is recovering, in the 2nd and 3rd sets against Korda he showed his old game, he even admitted that he forgot about some discomfort on his forehand and enjoyed the game. Auger is just being Auger, nothing impressive. It is interesting that Canada is leading in the head-to-head with a score of 3:2. However, they won the first three matches, when Carlos was still quite inexperienced, but he solidly defeated the last two matches against Alcaraz, not losing a single set. I believe today he will once again fight for every point, as is typical for him, and will start to play more confidently with each round.
