With a 7-6(5), 7-6(2) win over defending champion Hubert Hurkacz, Carlos Alcaraz is into his first ATP-1000 finals having dropped just 1 set so far this week in the Miami Gardens. Alcaraz had been credited so far for being a clay court expert but the 18-year old has smashed the tag having played splendidly in the Sunshine Double as he reached the semis at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters and is now into the finals in Miami.

Casper Ruud also reaches his first-ever Masters-1000 finals as he defeats Francisco Cerundolo who turned out to be a surprise contender at the tournament. Ruud won the match 6-4, 6-1 to reach the second finals of his season, similar to Alcaraz with both having claimed a title on Clay going into Sunday’s finals. Ruud has captured 6 clay titles and 1 hardcourt title so far in his career while Alcaraz will play in his first hardcourt finals having won two Clay titles.

Casper will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 63-43 and is 8-2 on the surface this season while having a season record of 13-3 across all surfaces. Carlos will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 39-12 and is 11-2 on the surface this season with a 17-2 season record.

Looking at these numbers and considering their in the 2022 season, it will be a thrilling match for sure given the run both players have had so far. While Alcaraz looks in better and more consistent form, Casper has a slightly better experience and could use it to turn the match against the teenager. Nevertheless, Alcaraz should scrape through to the title.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz to win in 3-sets
