Paul vs Alcaraz Picks & Prediction
- Over 32.5 Games (-115)
Alcaraz is anticipated to defeat the American and reach the final four of the French Open. However, his Roland Garros performance hasn’t been flawless.
Following a straight-sets victory over Giulio Zeppieri, the 22-year-old Spaniard played four sets in each of his next three matches. In his last match, he required a tiebreak to clinch the first set against #13 Ben Shelton.
In the last two matches, he surpassed the 32.5 games set for his encounter with Paul.
Paul vs Alcaraz H2H Results
Paul displayed his best form of the tournament in the fourth round, defeating no. 25 Alexei Popyrin in straight sets. His previous two matches went the distance, so a swift win was beneficial ahead of his most significant match of the tournament.
Alcaraz has won four of their six head-to-head clashes, including the last three. Their only clay match was at the Paris Olympics, a straight-set win for Alcaraz.
Their sole major meeting was at Wimbledon last year, with Alcaraz winning in four sets. They’ve contested full three-set matches at ATP 1000 events in Cincinnati, Toronto, and Montreal.
With their history of close matches and both players having imperfections during their French Open journey, Paul could definitely take a set on Tuesday. A competitive four-set match isn’t improbable and would easily achieve the total.
