After spending several months recovering from an injury that he received back in the spring, Carlos Alcaraz made a pleasing return to the court during the first round of the US Open, defeating Roman Safiullin in straight sets. With that victory under his belt, the Spaniard will likely be feeling upbeat ahead of this second-round match against Jaime Faria, who had to put up a serious fight to get beyond Jenson Brooksby last time out.
Having won in five sets, Faria could easily have a less-than-ideal amount left in the tank, and let's face it, being a little fatigued is not what you want ahead of a match against Carlos Alcaraz, especially now that the Spaniard is fit and well again. The seven-time Grand Slam winner has a strong record against players of Faria's nature, so much so that we should be betting on him to claim victory without dropping a set.

Our Jaime Faria vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction
As the stats above show, Carlos Alcaraz has a very decent record of defeating players without dropping a set, while he certainly looked hungry to get back out there during the first round, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. If he can build on that effort, which seems likely, then Jaime Faria is going to be in for an uncomfortable time at Flushing Meadows, where the current world number three has won each of his last eight matches against lower-ranked players in straight sets, making odds of -149 too good to turn down.
