Our Carlos Alcaraz vs Jaume Munar Prediction
Key Stats: Jaume Munar has won 75.2 percent of his first serves and saved 75 percent of 24 break points in Tokyo. He has also converted 22 of 45 break chances across five matches.
What to Expect: Munar pushes Alcaraz to the limit. The Spaniard has been playing terrific tennis this week, beating several strong players along the way – including the top-10 Fritz. Munar is a streaky player who can take out any player when he’s in the zone.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz continues to deliver impressive results in his return from injury, but his campaign in Japan has seen him struggle to get off to a fast start.
Munar’s chance of pulling off a big upset here is to catch Alcaraz off guard in the first set before grinding him out in the next sets. Regardless, Munar seems to be a solid option at +110 to cover +4.5 games in this matchup.
Fearless Forecast: Carlos Alcaraz wins 4-6, 6-4, 7-6
Our betting prediction for Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jaume Munar: Jaume Munar +4.5 games
