Carlos Alcaraz vs Taylor Fritz prediction

Carlos Alcaraz will aim to retain his China Open title when he takes on Taylor Fritz in the 2025 final.

The Spaniard came from behind to edge out Casper Ruud 3-6 6-3 6-4 and reach his 10th final of the year.

The world number one will now take on second seed Fritz after the American eased past his compatriot Jenson Brooksby by a 6-4 6-3 scoreline.

Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 3-1 but did lose 6-3 6-2 to the world number five in the Laver Cup just last week.

A title defence and revenge will be high on the six-time major winner’s agenda here and we expect him to bring his A-game with a trophy on the line. 

Indeed, it will take another sub-par display from the top seed for Fritz to bag another upset with a piece of silverware on the line.
