Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniel Altmaier Prediction

After a slow start in his opening match, Alcaraz produced a stellar performance to beat the dangerous Cerundolo in three. While Altmaier brings a more varied game in this match, he’s unlikely to pose a huge threat behind the return. I expect Alcaraz to dominate the serve+1. This tournament is Alcaraz’s to lose, and with some of his direct rivals beaten, his chances have only gone up a notch.
