Carlos Alcaraz vs Arthur Fils Prediction

It’s no secret when Fils is feeling himself, he can take over any match and set the pace. That’s exactly what he’s been doing all week against much-fancied favorites on this slow clay in Monte Carlo. But I still think his peak level is no match for the second-seeded Alcaraz. If we needed a reminder of Alcaraz’s sublime qualities on the dirt, then he gave us a comprehensive demonstration in his straight-sets win over Altmaier, which featured some exciting points. That said, I’m expecting Alcaraz to turn Fils’ obvious weapons (like his running forehand) into liabilities here. He’ll demand an extra ball from Fils, and he’ll outmaneuvre him. Give me Alcaraz in two.
