Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-3.5) for Alcaraz – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 23 – 1.66.
Alcaraz is improving with each match and seems to have successfully adapted to the fast hard court in Cincinnati, as can be seen by his two-set victory over Cilic. We believe the same fate awaits Norrie.
Norrie defeated Ben Shelton (6-0, 6-2) in his previous match. Contrary to expectations, Ben failed to become a serious obstacle for Cameron.
Unlike Casper Ruud, who lost to Ben in two sets, Cameron defeated him. No comment there, as they say.
Before that, Norrie had two very tough matches. They were against Holger Rune (7-6, 4-6, 6-4) and Andy Murray (3-6, 6-3, 6-4). In both cases, he only managed to put his opponents down in the third set.
Norrie reached the quarter-finals at the Masters level for the second time in the season.
Norrie has lost 6 of his last 7 meetings against the top 10.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, became the youngest quarter-finalist at the Cincinnati Masters since 2006, when Andy Murray reached that stage.
Remarkably, Carlos reached the quarter-finals of the Masters for the fourth time in the season. Amazing stability for him. Interestingly enough, he has not yet lost at this stage.
Alcaraz has not dropped a single set so far this week. He defeated Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 6-2) in the first match and then dealt with Marin Cilic (7-6, 6-1). In the first set of the match against Marin, it came down to a tie-break. In the second set, his opponent took only one game.
Alcaraz has won 44 matches so far this year and along with Stefanos Tsitsipas is the season leader in terms of the number of wins.
Alcaraz has 5 straight victories over left-handers to his credit.
In 4 of Alcaraz Garfia’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.73.
