by Edgar Jibran in ATP Mutua Madrid Open Picks
The second round of the ATP 1000 in Madrid will be the presentation of the top seed players in the main draw, being one of those, Carlos Alcaraz, who is a big candidate to battle for the title, but first, he must confront against Alexander Shevchenko in a match where the Spanish is the favorite to advance for the bookmakers’ odds and for the fanatics.
In this regard, Alexander Shevchenko recently cut off a streak of 4 consecutive losses after his 3-sets victory over Arthur Rinderknech in the first round of this tournament, where one of his virtues was committing a very low number of unforced errors, however, he was not able to keep the impressive performance he had during the 1st set with an index of 94% won points on first service.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz is going to make his 2024 debut over clay surface on this tournament, and even when that could mean a challenge for any player, it won’t be the case of Alcaraz as this is one of the surfaces where he is performing on an extraordinary level during the last years. However, it’s relevant to remember that during his last match he was overtaken by Dimitrov, so Madrid will represent an opportunity for him to look for personal revenge.
