ROMAN SAFIULLIN VS CARLOS ALCARAZ PREDICTION

So far, Carlos Alcaraz has balanced his singles and doubles commitments well across these Olympics. Teaming with fellow Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal has clearly been a hugely enlightening experience for him and his performance levels in the singles tournament have not dipped as a consequence. He remains the gold standard right now.

Of course, you’d expect any complacency to be left firmly in the locker room and Alcaraz not to take Roman Safiullin lightly. However, any outcome other than victory for the 21-year-old in two sets would be considered a surprise.
