Alcaraz vs Rune Prediction & Pick

Alcaraz and Rune are similar in a number of ways. Each pro has yet to turn 21 years of age and relies on big serves as well as stellar movement to advance in tournaments. They have both played well on grass throughout their careers, too, with Alcaraz posting a 16-3 record and rune posting a 9-5 record.

This matchup is going to be closer than the odds suggest, but I still side with Alcaraz. The Spaniard standout has a chance to make the semifinals of a Grand Slam event for the third consecutive time. His ability to excel in the spotlight gives him an edge over Rune, who has never made the semifinals.

Look for Alcaraz to make the right adjustments and pull away as this great matchup progresses.

Winner: Carlos Alcaraz

Alcaraz vs Rune Best Bet

Carlos Alcaraz has won the first set and gone on to win the match in 13 of his last 16 showdowns at Grand Slam events. What that shows is the 20-year-old regularly gains an immediate edge over his opponent and never gives it up. Rune is undoubtedly going to put up fight here, but it's more likely he wins the second or third set than it is he wins the first. Alcaraz has shown every reason to trust him.

Bet: Carlos Alcaraz to Win First Set & Match (-156)
