Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Carlos Alcaraz H2H

Auger-Aliassime has won 3 of the 5 matches against Alcaraz, but has lost the last 2 meetings. The most recent match was 2024 Indian Wells, a much Alcaraz won in straight sets. Auger-Aliassime’s last win over Alcaraz came in 2022 Basel. This will be the first match on clay court.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction

Alcaraz should be the comfortable favorite for obvious reasons, but history shows that Auger-Aliassime can hang in this match. Auger-Aliassime beat Alcaraz in each of the first 3 meetings, and that includes a Davis Cup match where he lost the first set. Auger-Aliassime has played well through 3 matches, he’s comfortable on this surface, and Alcaraz wasn’t as sharp in his third round victory. This feels like it could be a long fourth round match with some interesting games. 

I like Alcaraz to win, but I’d take the over 33.5 games, expecting the Canadian to win a set.
