Alcaraz Garfia is so good that even Norrie, who is in good form, is unlikely to stop the Spanish tennis player on his way to the next trophy. Carlos is getting better with each match, so we expect the final match to go his way.
Alcaraz Garfia is getting better and better with each match. Carlos lost to his compatriot Zapata Miralles only four games in the semi-final match. We expect that the Spaniard will also play with maximum concentration in the upcoming match.
Carlos reached the final in his first tournament since his injury.
Previously, he had to miss almost four months due to injuries to his stomach and thigh muscles.
Judging from this week’s matches, Alcaraz is fit as a fiddle. In the semi-finals, the 19-year-old tennis player easily defeated Bernabe Zapata-Miralles (6-2, 6-2), as expected.
Carlos may not always have been super efficient on serve, but he again displayed a superb game on serve.
The same could be seen in the matches against Laslo Djere (6-2, 4-6, 6-2) and Dusan Lajovic (6-4, 6-2).
Alcaraz has won ten of his last 11 matches as a favourite.
Cameron, meanwhile, will play in the final for the second time this season. In January, he lost to Richard Gasquet (6-4, 4-6, 4-6,) in a decisive match at a tournament in Auckland, New Zealand.
Norrie defeated Juan Pablo Varillas (7-6, 6-4) on Saturday.
It was a tight match, but this time it was enough for the Briton to win in two sets. The important point is that Norrie lost his serve only once.
The meetings with Facundo Acosta (4-6, 75, 7-6) and Tomas Etcheverry (5-7, 6-0, 6-3) also turned out to be nervous. However, here Norrie only overpowered his opponents in the third set.
Norrie has won six of his last seven matches at the ATP-250 level.
