After a disappointing debut in Monte-Carlo, normal service resumes for Carlos Alcaraz as he reaches the semi-finals in Barcelona. Up against last year’s runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas, the teen beat the Greek 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to extend his record in the head-to-head in what was a highly tensed and controversial match. The win also takes Carlos into the Top-10 for the first time.

Alex de Minaur reaches his first semi-final of the season as he defeats Cameron Norrie 6-3, 5-7, 6-1 to enter the semis of the tournament for the first time having reached the third round last year in his debut. Similar to Alcaraz, Alex has also won two of his three matches in 3-sets and has looked in great form to make it to the last-4 on one of his difficult surfaces.

Minaur will come into the tie with a career claycourt record of 46-36 and is 4-1 on the surface this season while having a season record of 16-7 across all surfaces. Alcaraz will take the court with a career claycourt record of 81-25 and is 9-1 on the surface this season while having a 21-3 season record so far.

Looking at these numbers and considering their form in the 2022 season, Alcaraz looks the favourite but one cannot undermine the Australian who has surprised everyone with his run this week in Barcelona. However, given Alcaraz’s prowess on the surface and barring his defeat in Monte-Carlo, he has been in better form and is likely to head into yet another final this season.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz to win in three-sets
