Carlos Alcaraz vs Holger Rune prediction
Carlos Alcaraz mastered the windy conditions to take down Arthur Fils in straight sets and advance to his third Barcelona Open final. He beat the Frenchman 6-2 6-4, saving just one break point during the 74-minute clash. He nullified the hard-hitting of Fils from the back of the court while also targeting his backhand and applying some variation throughout the contest.
Holger Rune is the man that stands in Alcaraz’s way of a hat-trick of titles in Barcelona. He produced another phenomenal display to beat Karen Khachanov 6-2 6-3. The 21-year-old has bounced back from the illness which curtailed his Monte-Carlo campaign and is in his first clay final since Rome in 2023.
The Norwegian was pleased with his performance from the back of the court while he also utilised the drop shot to his advantage throughout.
Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 2-1, though their last match was at Wimbledon nearly two years ago and they’ve never played on clay before.
Rune has bounced back tremendously this week and has the game to push Alcaraz all the way, but we’re backing the Spaniard to win his third title of the year and continue his perfect record on clay this season.
