THE PREDICTION

World number six Carlos Alcaraz made short work of lucky loser Juan Ignacio Londero on Sunday, conceding just six games to the Argentine. The 19-year-old has won four ATP titles this season including two Masters at the Miami Open and Madrid Open and three on clay from Madrid, Barcelona and Rio. Alcaraz is the clear heir apparent to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at Roland-Garros and with each of them in the same portion of the draw it seems almost certain that one of the three will be in the final come next Sunday. World number 44 Albert Ramos-Vinolas overcame a tough test by Thanasi Kokkinakis on Sunday, beating the Aussie in four sets. 34-year-old ARV won the fourth title of his career at the Cordoba Open back in February and he is one of the more seasoned clay specialists on tour.

Alcaraz has beaten Ramos-Vinolas in both of their previous meetings and both on clay at the 2020 Rio Open and more recently in the semi-finals of last season’s Umag Open, where the young prodigy went on to win his first ATP title. Straight sets is quite likely here and the 19-year-old is backable right now to deliver on that, although the outright pick remains the sensible call.
