Carlos Alcaraz vs. Daniil Medvedev: Match Prediction

Spanish ace Alcaraz has enjoyed an upper hand over Medvedev as the 20-year-old leads the head-to-head record 3-2. Even when the two players faced each other last year at the Indian Wells final, Alcaraz blew away the Russian ace in straight sets.

In their last three matches, Alcaraz has won two, with the last win coming in the group stages of the 2023 ATP Finals. Now, as the two players will be up against each other one more time, a thrilling game of tennis will be on the cards.

Alcaraz seems to have regained his lost touch with the way he has been playing so far. His movements on the court against Sinner were nothing less than a warning for Medvedev who lost to Sinner in the Australian Open final. The Spaniard is expected to push his Russian counterpart to the brink and successfully defend his title.

Match prediction: Carlos Alcaraz to win in three sets.
