Carlos Alcaraz vs. Gregoire Barrere: Match Preview

The Spanish World No.2 will be looking to get back to his finest form before the ATP finals and keep alive his hopes of getting to the year-end world number one ranking. After a poor show and a fourth loss against his biggest rival Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals of the China Open, Alcaraz will be trying his best to get a revenge win here in Shanghai. He now trails the head-to-head against Sinner 3-4 as well.

Alcaraz must be unhappy about how he failed to convert the break points against Sinner and the way he lost the opening set despite going a break up of serve twice. There will be more learning lessons for the former World No. 1 player who is just 20 years old and has plenty of time to peak.

Keeping these things in mind, the French 29-year-old Gregoire Barrere has no chance on paper against the Spaniard. Unlike some top players, Alcaraz always finds the right rhythm from the opening match of the tournament itself and it will need miracles to happen for the French unseeded player to even take a set off the young Spaniard whose physical level is also at a higher level.

Carlos Alcaraz vs. Gregoire Barrere: Match Prediction

With an 18-21 win-loss ratio for the year and having not great achievements on the professional tour to show, the unseeded French player Gregoire Barrere will have to produce the best version of himself to even take a set off the Spanish star.
