Yibing Wu vs Carlos Alcaraz prediction

Carlos Alcaraz overcame an early hiccup to keep his title defence on track at the 2026 US Open.

The Spaniard’s confidence in his wrist following a four-month spell on the sidelines continues to grow as he claimed a 4-6 6-0 6-3 6-2 victory over Jaime Faria.

The second seed will now face Yibing Wu for a second time after the world number 113 secured another straight sets win over James Duckworth.

Alcaraz triumphed 7-6 6-3 when they met at the 2024 Shanghai Masters and with the seven-time Major winner having some spells of rustiness, the Chinese underdog will hope to press deep in most sets.

Whether he can turn that into an actual threat to win is another matter and there is likely to come a point where Alcaraz raises his level and trust in that wrist. We think it might be here, but if you want better odds, explore over 30.5 games.
