Ban-ban-banger approaching!

The Alcaraz/Paul duels are always incredible in terms of level of play but also in terms of spectacle, they make each other shine for our greatest happiness!

Already Paul bothers Alcaraz every time they play each other, here he arrives with crazy confidence after his title in Queens and a series of 9 victories in progress, hard to do better. The American is playing his best tennis this season and is simply establishing himself as one of the best players on the circuit. Multi-surface, excellent quality of movement, aggressive play, good state of mind, we can give Paul a lot of praise. His start to the tournament was not great with some wanderings, a set lost against Martinez, two others against Virtanen, surely a little relaxation after his title in Queens it is never easy to continue straight away. I will especially remember that behind him he hits Bublik and Bautista in three short sets without leaving any crumbs. No doubt his tournament is off to a good start, physically RAS, the level of play is there and motivation will be maximum given that he is having a blast in the matches against Carlitos. Speaking of Carlitos, has he impressed you since the start of the tournament? Not really personally, he wins but like his match against Humbert I have the feeling that it was the Frenchman who was the best on the court. However in the end it is almost always Alcaraz who wins, I had the same impression at Roland where it was sluggish and in the end it is he who will win the title, never sell Carlos' skin before having killed him. I'm not going to try to lay him, just to be objective and seize the opportunities that present themselves against him, whether it's HDP or over sets. Paul seems to be the right opponent for this type of bet, let's see if the odds are playable!
