THE PREDICTION
18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz will break the top 10 of the ATP world rankings no matter the outcome of this match after another thrilling, incredible victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas. If we needed any more evidence that the teenager was the real deal then this was it as he bounced back from a blip in Monte-Carlo, soon after winning a first Masters title at the Miami Open, to beat the Monte-Carlo champion Tsitsipas for a third time in less than a year. Alcaraz now looks the man to beat in Barcelona not just on clear blossoming ability but now as the highest seed remaining, which is something he will have to get used to.
World number 25 Alex de Minaur will take on Spaniard for a first time here after overcoming friend off the court Cam Norrie in three sets on Friday. The 23-year-old spent much of his formative tennis years in Spain and he has developed an excellent game for the clay as a result but he faces quite simply the form player on the ATP tour right now. The Barcelona crowd want this for Alcaraz perhaps as much as he does and they will create the kind of partisan atmosphere that should take him all the way to the title. Back the Spaniard to win outright, probably in two.
