Top seed Carlos Alcaraz continues his attempt to win the one Grand Slam title he’s never won. Round three of the outdoor hard court Australian Open sees the Spaniard take on 32nd seed Corentin Moutet. Time for our match prediction.

In the last 16, the winner of this match will face either 14th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina or 19th-seeded Tommy Paul.

Not only has Carlos Alcaraz never won this Grand Slam, he’s yet to make it past the quarter-finals. Alcaraz has reached at least the last eight in 11 of his last 12 Grand Slams. The 22-year-old is playing his first tournament of the year.

He’s beaten Adam Walton and Yannick Hanfmann in straight sets to reach this third round.

Corentin Moutet is in round three in Melbourne for the third successive year. He’s only got past this stage at Roland Garros and the US Open.

The 26-year-old Frenchman is 36th in the live rankings, five places below his career-high. Moutet defeated Tristan Schoolkate in straight sets in his first match this week. He lost the first set of his second round match against Michael Zheng but won the next two before his opponent retired in set four.

We tip more than 8.5 games in the first set.
