Rafael Nadal Vs Carlos Alcaraz Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?

Nadal has won 19 straight matches this year, all of which were on hard court. His recent wins in Mexico and at the Australian Open make him the favourite to win his match. Alcaraz however, is having a breakthrough season. He has been dominating the competition with ease and his playing style is also similar to Nadal’s. Nadal will look to be more aggressive, end rallies quicker and try not to let Alcaraz get comfortable. Alcaraz will have to try to keep the pressure on Nadal and be as aggressive as possible.

Prediction: Nadal to win in 3 sets.
