On Friday, the teenage phenom Carlos Alcaraz will compete in the 2022 Western & Southern Open quarterfinals against World No. 11 Cameron Norrie. Read below for Carlos Alcaraz vs Cameron Norrie Prediction, Head-to-Head, Preview, Betting Tips and Live Stream.
Alcaraz defeated Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets after receiving a bye in the first round, setting up a third-round matchup with Marin Cilic. From the very first point, the young Spaniard made a strong impression. He won a break in the first game of the match, and following a hold of his own, he had a 2-0 lead.
The second set was rather well matched. The first three games of the set were won by Alcaraz. With a hold of service, Cilic tied the score at 3-3, but the Spaniard won the next three games to win the match 7-6(4), 6-1. His 44th triumph of the year came with this one.
In order to get to the third round, Cameron Norrie had to battle through two difficult three-set victories over Holger Rune and Andy Murray. Ben Shelton, a teenage upstart who had shocked Casper Ruud in the previous round, was his opponent.
In the opening set, Norrie had complete control and broke his rival’s serve three times to win. Apart from one little blip in which he faced a break point in the fourth game, he played a faultless set. At the beginning of the second set, the Brit obtained a break of serve to take a 2-0 lead.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Cameron Norrie Predictions
In his matchup with Shelton, Norrie performed brilliantly. But since he hasn’t yet succeeded in defeating Alcaraz, he’ll have to step it up even further. The British player has fallen to him twice this year, albeit in their most recent meeting, the British player did push him to three sets.
Alcaraz had a momentary error against Cilic that gave his opponent a chance to retake the initiative, but he quickly picked up the pace to take back command. The teen had 18 victories overall, opposed to 12 unforced errors.
By this point, the two will be acquainted with one another’s game. It is quite challenging to hit through Norrie because of his counterpunching style of tennis. In their prior encounters, Alcaraz has overcome that, though. The adolescent uses a combination of powerful groundstrokes, timely drop shots, and outstanding defence to stay in the game.
The odds are tipped in favour of Alcaraz because he is the better fit player. Although Norrie is a difficult opponent to manage, the Spaniard will no doubt succeed in the test.
Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz will prevail in three sets.
