THE LOWDOWN
CARLOS ALCARAZ
Spanish prodigy Carlos Alcaraz will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of at least 18th to match his age after a solid straight-sets victory over Mackenzie McDonald on Saturday. The teenager won the second title of his career at the Rio Open last time out, with his first also coming on clay at the Umag Open last summer. Alcaraz reached the quarter-finals of the US Open last season before having to pull out with an injury against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
ROBERTO BAUTISTA AGUT
World number 15 Roberto Bautista Agut faced off a spirited display from American qualifier J.J. Wolf to come through to the third round in three sets via a deciding tiebreak. The 33-year-old recently won the 10th ATP title of his career at the Qatar Open with his best Masters result finishing runner-up to Andy Murray at the Shanghai Open in 2016.
THE PREDICTION
This could be a proper thriller on Monday between Spain’s prodigal son, Carlos Alcaraz, and its steady and on the tiller, Roberto Bautista Agut. The rallies in this first meeting are likely to tire out those watching on but at this moment in time it is hard to see the brilliant rise of Alcaraz halted by anyone at Indian Wells ranked outside the top five. RBA will be the better for a struggle against J.J. Wolf on Saturday but Alcaraz’ six-match winning streak says he can come through the outright winner here.
