Carlos Alcaraz is still a teenager and despite the fact that he has defeated top 10 players in the past, his great game is still considered surprising. He blew past his opponents in the first two rounds but now he is facing Matteo Berrettini who has much more experience than the Spaniard. Alcaraz has a better game overall than the Italian but Berrettini has a great first serve and will win many easy points and will certainly have an advantage in tie-breaks. This will definitely be a long match with both players winning at least a set and going over 37.5 games.
