Carlos Alcaraz vs Tomas Machac prediction
Carlos Alcaraz put his Monte Carlo dismay behind him with a dominant win over Otto Virtanen in Barcelona.
The top seed sped to 6-4 6-2 success over the Finnish qualifier and will now face Tomas Machac for the third time in his career.
The Czech posted a 2-6 6-4 6-1 comeback victory over Sebastian Baez and is beginning to put some wins together that have moved him back inside the top 50.
The head-to-head is tied at 1-1 and Tomas did win their most recent clash in Shanghai in 2024.
However, this is a first contest on clay and that should suit Carlitos, who will again look to raise his level on home turf.
