The 18-year old Carlos Alcaraz has been displaying tremendous strength and stability in his game since the begging of the year. He started 2022 with a bang, winning the Next Gen ATP finals and then grabbing the Rio Open title after breezing through his semifinals and finals, beating Fabio Fognini (6-2, 7-5) and Diego Schwartzman (6-4, 6-2).

He also made it to the third round of the Australian Open, losing to Matteo Berrettini in a tough and exhausting five-setter (2-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7). And now in the Indian Wells, the Spaniard as a seeded player directly faced Mackenzie McDonald in the second round. Beating the American in straight sets (6-3, 6-3), Alcaraz moved on to the round of 32.

Similar to the teenager, Roberto Bautista Agut also had a very fruitful start this year; emerging as the runner-up in the ATP Cup and then grandly winning the Qatar Open against Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-3, 6-4) in straight sets.

However, he couldn’t repeat this in the Dubai Tennis Championship leading to his loss in the second round to the Czech player Jiří Veselý (2-6, 4-6). As the fifteenth seed, the Spaniard directly faced J.J.Wolf, defeating him in an intense three-setter (6-3, 6-7, 7-5).

World No. 19 Carlos Alcaraz and the fellow Spaniard are both in great form and are expected to display an intense and difficult match. The 33-year old player has almost the same stats for this year, however, he has more experience on the court in comparison to the teenager. Alcaraz on the other hand is on fire with his win and is aiming for another one soon.

Prediction:  Carlos Alcaraz is expected to win in three sets.
