Carlos Alcaraz vs Hugo Gaston: Preview

Carlos Alcaraz got one of the best wins of his career taking down the new World No.9, Jannik Sinner in two tough sets in the second round of the Paris event. The fact that he managed to overpower Sinner in straight sets is incredible, and a true testament to his talent and improvement over the course of just a few months. The Spaniard began his campaign here with a victory over Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France in the first round.

The Spaniard won the first title of his career in Estoril over the summer and reached his first ever Grand Slam Quarter-Final at the US Open this year. It is seemingly only a matter of time before he truly breaks out at a major tournament like this one, and he will be hoping that this is it.

Hugo Gaston is a very talented Frenchman who burst onto the scene last year at the French Open by defeating high seeded players that included Dominic Thiem. Since then he has not exploded like many people expected him to but he has been consistently solid. After coming through the Qualifying Rounds with some impressive wins, he stunned 12th seeded Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, after dropping the first set. That will have given him a lot of confidence. Moreover, the home crowd support will be a major factor for him here.

Despite his form and the crowd being behind him he is still a huge underdog against the Spanish youngster, Carlos Alcaraz and he will have to play an unbelievable match to have any chance here.

The pair have never played each other before. This will be the first meeting between the 18-year old Spaniard and the 21 year-old Frenchman on the men’s professional ATP tour.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Hugo Gaston: Match Prediction

Alcaraz steps foot into this enticing clash as the favorite given his high level of experience and performance in recent times. His clay court game has developed into an all surface game and he is growing increasingly more comfortable on hard courts herefore he would be backing himself to win this one.

Gaston is a quirky player, but he doesn’t have the weapons to take on the Spaniard, who is loaded with weapons, especially the forehand. Despite his form and the crowd being behind him he is still a huge underdog against his opponent Carlos Alcaraz and the Frenchman will have to play an unbelievable match to have any chance here.

Prediction: Alcaraz to win in three sets.
