More recently, Kuhn has been losing with a big handicap to the likes of Filip Misolic and Lukas Klein. Alcaraz Garfia is certainly the more formidable opponent. It’s unlikely that Kuhn will be able to give proper resistance to Carlos.
Alcaraz Garfia and Kuhn are players of different levels. It is unclear what Kuhn is going to use to put up a fight against Carlos. He is inferior to him in every way.
For Alcaraz, the upcoming match will be his first since Wimbledon. He reached the fourth round in London, where he lost to Jannik Sinner (1-6, 4-6, 7-6, 3-6).
However, now we need to focus on Carlos’ clay results. On this surface, he has won several titles.
In late February, he took the title in Rio de Janeiro, in late April in Barcelona and in early May, he won the Masters in Madrid.
At Roland Garros, Alcaraz failed to make the quarter-finals, losing to Alexander Zverev (4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7). However, it is clear that he has been one of the best players on the clay as of late.
Alcaraz has previously played against the wild-card holders nine times and has recorded seven wins.
Kuhn, meanwhile, received a wild card from the tournament organisers. There was no other way for him to qualify for the main draw. He is ranked 261st in the current rankings.
His main achievement so far this year is making it to the main draw at Wimbledon. However, in his first match, he lost to Brandon Nakashima (3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 2-6).
Nicola did not have much success at the other tournament. He only managed to win more than one match in Traralgon and Tunis.
Last year, Kuhn failed in the first round in Hamburg, losing to Thiago Seyboth Wild (6-1, 1-6, 2-6).
Kuhn has lost his last four meetings with the seeded opponents.
In four of Kuhn’s last five matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.27.
