Alcaraz, on the other hand, had a phenomenal session in which he defeated none other than tennis great Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon finals. Alcaraz is renowned for his shot precision and footwork and has triumphed 52 times out of 57 games. He is one of those athletes who has a chance to smash the Big Three records. It goes without saying, but the young gun is in fantastic shape, so it would be pretty difficult to defeat him.

Hurkacz and Alcaraz have met each other twice, with Alcaraz taking both victories. Hurkacz would have to put out his best effort to beat Alcaarz due to his aggressive baseline game, potent groundstrokes, and unrelenting battling spirit.

However, more interestingly, Hurkacz has a lot of experience, the ability to move opponents about the court, and a strong serve. So, the tennis professional will definitely attempt to do everything he can to finally overcome Alcaraz.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz wins in three sets
