Expert Betting Tips

It is difficult to compare the world's number one and the 70th-ranked player. However, Carlos had already lost two sets in Cincinnati and struggled against Paul. Purcell looked good at the Toronto Masters, and here in Cincinnati, the Australian is having a great time. He has already knocked out a top-ten player in the ATP rankings and has convincingly beaten two other opponents. Alcaraz will have problems today, just like he did against Paul, and the Spaniard should not expect an easy ride. The Australian will give his opponent a fight.
