THE PREDICTION
World number two Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended a title for the first time in his career with a searing campaign at the Barcelona Open last week, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas to claim his ninth title overall at just 19 years old. The Spaniard will be thrilled to take a five-match winning streak into another title defence here in Madrid after he truly emerged as the next big thing last season by becoming the first player to beat Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal back-to-back on clay. World number 41 Emil Ruusuvuori grabbed an excellent opening victory over Ugo Humbert on Wednesday via two tight tiebreaks and, for now, the Finn owns a rare 100% record over Carlos Alcaraz as the winner of their only previous encounter at the Miami Open in 2021. 24-year-old Ruusuvuori should put up a solid fight here and he should not be underestimated after an excellent result over Frances Tiafoe in Barcelona last week. All the same, back Alcaraz to win in straight sets here as the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy once again in a fortnight.
