Carlos Alcaraz vs Taylor Fritz: Preview
On Wednesday at the 2023 Miami Open, top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz will attempt to continue his impressive winning streak by taking on local contender Taylor Fritz in an intriguing quarterfinal clash. Alcaraz, who recently claimed the Indian Wells title, appears to be in excellent form and poised to achieve a Sunshine Double.
He has not lost a single set in his past nine matches, including triumphs over notable opponents such as Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner. Despite returning to Miami as the defending champion and dominating his opponents in his first three matches, dropping no more than four games in a set, the Spaniard will face a challenging adversary in the powerful-hitting Fritz.
Despite being disappointed after failing to defend his Indian Wells crown and being ousted by Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals, Fritz has made a strong comeback. He hasn’t dropped a set in Miami this week, just like his opponent. Fritz’s performance in his 6-3, 6-4 win over Holger Rune was particularly impressive, and he could pose a challenge to the World No. 1.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Taylor Fritz: Prediction
As the two players have never faced each other on the tour before, their current head-to-head record stands at 0-0. Carlos Alcaraz has exhibited impressive power and athleticism from the baseline throughout the week in Miami. However, if he hopes to defeat Taylor Fritz, he will need to elevate his game. Fritz is known for playing a solid, first-strike style of tennis, and except for his match against Rune, his first serve has been almost untouchable.
Alcaraz could learn from Rune’s strategy and modify his return position to fluster Fritz, causing him to make mistakes due to overeagerness. Although it may take him a game or two to adapt to Fritz’s direct style, the Spaniard has the skills required to counter his opponent’s power. By utilizing his potent forehand to take control of the game and exert pressure on Fritz’s serve, Alcaraz could potentially gain a significant advantage.
Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz wins in three sets
