Our Zizou Bergs vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction
Key Stats: Carlos Alcaraz wins between 52% and 55% of total return points against non-seeded players on hard courts.
What to Expect: Alcaraz blows out Bergs to cover -5.5 games. Alcaraz, who displayed his old form on serve by winning 86.5 percent of his first serves and facing zero break points against Cerundolo, will hold 90 to 100% of his serves against Bergs, who is converting only 35.8 percent of break points on hard courts this year. Moreover, expect Alcaraz to earn double breaks or triple breaks in this match, especially if Bergs cannot land over 60 percent of his first serves.
Fearless Forecast: Carlos Alcaraz wins 6-3, 6-2
