Alexander Zverev vs Carlos Alcaraz: Preview

Alexander Zverev the world number 3 has been in a scintillating form during the clay season. Despite his great performance throughout, some minor errors have cost Zverev dearly as he made two semifinal appearances losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas both times, and finished as the runner-up in the Mutua Madrid Open. Zverev emerged victorious after a tense five-set battle against Sebastian Baez. He finished all of his other matches in straight sets.

Zverev will face his strongest challenge in the form of 18-year-old, Carlos Alcaraz, who has already won four titles in 2022. Alcaraz defeated both Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in consecutive rounds to reach the final of the Madrid Open and won the title against Zverev. Though the last time they faced, Zverev wasn’t fully recovered from his semifinal encounter, Alcaraz is still a slight favorite over him to reach the semifinal of the Roland Garros.
