Carlos Alcaraz vs Francisco Cerundolo Prediction

This is a fifth career Masters 1000 quarterfinal for Cerundolo who is coming off a very impressive straight sets win over de Minaur. But beating Alcaraz is a different ball game. The Spaniard is ruthlessly dispatching his opponents this week, giving away as little as two games against Dimitrov in the last round. Whether it's a day session or a night session, it doesn't have any profound effect on his level. This should be another masterclass of a performance from Alcaraz to make his fourth straight semifinal in Indian Wells.
