James McCabe vs Luis Carlos Alvarez prediction
James McCabe ended his grass court season at the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, but was forced to retire in the third set against fellow Aussie Tristan Schoolkate in their second-round match. His current ranking stands at 164 in the world but he did win his first-round match at the Australian Open, his home slam, this year. McCabe’s best result this season was a semi-final finish in Bengaluru on the Challenger Tour at the beginning of March, but he’s struggled to make a key breakthrough in any events since then.
He will face Luis Carlos Alvarez, who competes in one of his home tournaments. The young Mexican is just 20-years-old and ranked 784 in the world. He has competed in just four events this season and he has barely featured on the ATP Tour before.
McCabe is ranked hundreds of places above his opponent and should be expected to make it through comfortably and reach the second-round of the event in Los Cabos.
