Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-8.5) for Alcaraz – 1.71.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 30.5 – 1.61.
Baez has not done well at all in the last few games. With a game like that, he has no place in the US Open. Most likely, he won’t be able to improve his game dramatically. In the confrontation with Alcaraz, he will face a similar fate.
Sebastian has been losing his last matches too easily. In those matches, there was not even a hint of a fight. It is likely that nothing will change significantly against Alcaraz.
Baez reached the final in Bostad in mid-July. He played some great matches, beating Fabio Fognini, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Dominic Thiem and Andrey Rublev. The final, however, was a disappointing defeat for him against Francisco Cerundolo.
After that, Sebastian started a series of bad tournaments. Apparently, after a good performance in Bostad, the boy got a bit dizzy.
Baez did not win a single match in Hamburg, Umag, Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati.
In some cases, he certainly had really strong opponents, but in Umag, for example, Sebastian lost to Franco Agamenone.
Baez has lost his last 5 matches to opponents from the top 30.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, is one of the main favourites for the US Open. If last year his reaching the quarter-finals was a real surprise, this time he is expected at least to repeat the result.
However, it is too early to say that Carlos will fight for the title. Recent tournaments have shown he still has some work to do.
At the Masters in Montreal, Alcaraz lost immediately to Tommy Paul, even though he felt in control of the court until halfway through the second set.
In Cincinnati, he lost in the quarter-finals to Cameron Norrie. A good, tight match, but in the decisive moment his opponent was better.
In 3 of the last 5 Grand Slam tournaments, Alcaraz has managed to get past the first round in three sets.
In 4 of Alcaraz’s last 5 games, more than 12.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 8.5” with odds of 1.51.
