Qinwen Zheng - Cori Gauff

Alcaraz was struggling a bit, barely catching his breath while playing against Draper in the second set, but managed to close the match with high notes. But I have a feeling that the Italian can switch to a higher gear, as he showed in his match against Zverev, where he almost defeated him with a 2:0 score, which was quite unexpected. The tiebreak in the first set was played perfectly by Musetti, maintaining a high pace and winning it. Now we will see a stronger opponent who likes to hit winners, and Musetti will have to endure and fight back, which I believe he is capable of. Musetti is playing good tennis, he almost won against Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo final, but suffered from some health issues and lost that match. Now I hope Musetti is more determined to give his all and at least take a set from this match, which is what we need, but in the end I think Alcaraz will triumph with a 2:1 score. Taking a set and a half advantage against Alcaraz is not very valuable, as it only gives a coefficient of around 1.85, but in this case we can get a coefficient of 2.5, with the risk that Musetti might also win in two sets, although I highly doubt it. So we take a higher coefficient and look forward to a three-set match. 1% of the bank, good luck.
