THE PREDICTION
This promises to be a thrilling rematch of last season’s Madrid Open final, where lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff enjoyed the run of his career before coming just short in three sets to Carlos Alcaraz. World number three Alcaraz has only lost once in Madrid so far in his career, on his 18th birthday against Rafael Nadal here three years ago, and he could make it three titles on the spin this Sunday on what would be his 21st. The Spaniard made it 13 wins on the spin in his native capital with a mature straight-sets win over up-and-coming Thiago Seyboth Wild on Sunday, holding back a little on his mammoth forehand to protect a recent injury masterfully, but hard-hitting Struff will pose a significant threat to that wing as the German comes in hot from winning his maiden ATP title at the Munich Open.
34-year-old Struff has reacted fabulously to the emotional depressurisation that finally achieving that career milestone must cause, beating Jaume Munar and Ugo Humbert in straight sets apiece to look ready for a battle here. The German has won six matches without dropping a set in a row on clay and whilst Alcaraz leads their head-to-head 2-1, each of their three matches have seen sets go both ways. Back Struff to win a set to leave the victor up to chance or consider taking Alcaraz in three.
TIP: CARLOS ALCARAZ TO WIN 2-1
