In the 1/8-Finals, Alcaraz defeated Etcheverry in three sets. Besides struggling on his serve in the second set, the Spaniard dominated in the opening and third sets. He is the defending champion here. Last season, Alcaraz defeated Musetti in the final.
Alexander Bublik has won three of his last five matches. This week in Monte Carlo, Bublik won the opening match against Monfils in straight sets. Besides losing his serve once, the Kazakh dominated on his serve. In the 1/8-Finals, Bublik defeated Lehecka in straight sets. He served great, not offering any breakpoints. The Kazakh had a breakthrough season last year on clay, winning consecutive ATP titles.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Alcaraz is the favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He is the best clay-court player in the world and enjoys playing in Monte Carlo. We expect him to dominate the rallies and get a comfortable win.
That being said, Alcaraz covering the games handicap is a value bet.
