Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul Prediction: Expect Tommy to win?

After only five days Carlos Alcaraz will face Tommy Paul again, this time at the Cincinnati Masters. In Toronto, the Spaniard lost in three games, but despite this result, bookmakers are on the side of the Pyrenean in the pairing, believing that Carlos will take a confident revenge for the failure in Canada on Thursday.

Carlos had two wins over Shelton and Gurkach in Toronto and a three-set loss to Paul. In Cincinnati, the Spaniard played one match and, with great difficulty, beat the Australian Thompson in three games with the score 7:5, 4:6, 6:3. The match against the Australian lasted two hours and 48 minutes; Carlos served three times with five double faults, won 66% of points on the first serve and 64% on the second.

After beating Alcaraz in Toronto, Tommy Paul lost to Italian Cinner 4:6, 4:6 in two games. In Cincinnati, the American achieved two wins over Kecmanovic and Umber in two sets. The match against the Frenchman lasted an hour and 38 minutes, and Paul won it with the score 6:2, 7:6. During the game, Paul served five times with zero double faults and won 79% of points on the first serve and 61% on the second.

Despite Paul's confident victory over Alcaraz in Toronto, bookmakers persistently quote the Spaniard as a big favorite in the match against the American. We believe that Tommy will give a fight to the world number one in Cincinnati as well, and we won't be surprised if Paul gets a sensational victory again. Carlos did not impress in the match against Thompson; he won only in three sets, and the Australian is not a top tennis player. On the other hand, Tommy played both matches in Cincinnati very confidently, and he didn't lose a set, so we think that betting on the outsider in this pair is justified.
