Hello. The French Open semi-final will feature Spaniard Alcaraz and Italian Sinner. We move on to including overtime in Peru. Alcaraz was dealing with an injury until Roland Garros and it was expected that he would not return so strongly, but at the French Open he looks very good. In the entire tournament, he has only dropped one set to De Jong, and has defeated other opponents 3-0. He is skilled at maintaining ball control and has a powerful weapon, which he used to completely overwhelm his last opponent Tsitsipas – short balls. He performed flawlessly in this aspect, earning a lot of points against the Greek. But will it work just as well against the Italian?
Sinner has had an impressive year so far and has deservedly become the #1 seed after the French Open. This year, he seems to be going without any major setbacks. His record on hard court is 22:1 and on clay it is 11:1. His form is impeccable. Additionally, he has already won the Australian Open and it seems he is capable of winning his second Grand Slam of the season. Sinner has also only dropped one set in the entire tournament, against local player Moutet. But he seemed to have woken up and underestimated his opponent in that match. However, he quickly recovered and beat the French player. Against Dimitrov, he looked flawless, maintaining his serve very well and rarely getting broken.
Overall, the opponents are quite evenly matched, and I would give a slight advantage to Sinner. But in these circumstances, I cannot pass up odds of 2.4 for Sinner. Good luck.
