A few months ago, Alcaraz defeated Marin Cilic (6-4, 6-4). That match took place at a tournament in Miami. Marin was not playing as well as he is now. Cilic is playing much better now. He may well count on some resistance. It won’t be easy for Carlos in this match.
Cilic is not always stable, but if he is on a roll, he’s hard to stop. Marin has been playing well in recent matches. We think he’ll be able to put up a good fight against Carlos.
Cilic defeated Jaume Munar (6-3, 6-3) in the first round. Here everything is clear and without further comment.
In the next match, it was not easy for Marin. In the second round, Marin barely defeated Emil Ruusuvuori (6-4, 6-7, 7-5), whom he lost to in mid-June at a grass tournament in London.
This time, Cilic had a hard time overpowering Emil in the third set.
In Montreal last week, Cilic easily got through two rounds before losing to Tommy Paul (4-6, 2-6).
Cilic has lost 7 of his last 10 matches to opponents from the top 10.
Unlike the Masters in Montreal, Alcaraz got off to a solid start in Cincinnati.
In the first match, Carlos calmly defeated Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 6-2).
After that match, Carlos became the leader of the season in the number of victories. He has won 43 of his 51 matches.
All in all, yes, the loss to Tommy Paul (7-6, 6-7, 3-6) in Montreal seems to have been an unfortunate misunderstanding.
Alcaraz has won his last 7 matches in the US.
In 4 of Alcaraz’s last 6 matches, no tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.71.
