Carlos Alcaraz vs Andrea Vavassori Prediction

Vavassori is primarily a doubles specialist with one title already this season in that discipline and finished runner-up at the Australian Open men’s doubles tournament with compatriot Simone Bolelli. This is his first tournament of the season in singles and he’s looked very impressive. The conditions help his big-game style, but he’ll be playing catchup here against one of the greatest defenders in Alcaraz. The Spaniard looked shaky for large parts of his three-set win on Tuesday, but there is no reason for him to worry about his performances for the rest of the tournament.
