Carlos Alcaraz vs Sebastian Baez prediction

Carlos Alcaraz will look to shrug off his Laver Cup disappointment by continuing his dominance on Tour.

The Spaniard has lost just twice since March, lifting titles in Monte Carlo, Rome, Roland-Garros, Queen’s, Cincinnati and the US Open.

The newly-crowned world number one will be a heavy favourite to see off Sebastian Baez with the Argentine far more of a potential threat on clay.

Alcaraz leads the match-up 2-0 and should comfortably defeat the South American with the array of weapons at his disposal far too much for the world number 41 to handle.
