Carlos Alcaraz vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction

Alcaraz at the 2024 French Open - Day 8

Despite facing high-quality players in the last two rounds, Alcaraz got the job done with ease en route to the quarterfinals. He won 75% of his first serve points against Auger-Aliassime and created 16 break-point opportunities on the Canadian's serve. The 21-year-old has a remarkable all-around game on clay and is sprightly on the court.

Tsitsipas, on the contrary, rediscovered his form during the clay-court swing. After a mediocre start to the season, he silenced his critics with brilliant runs in Monte-Carlo and Barcelona. The Greek player showcased his resilience by getting past an in-form Arnaldi in the fourth round and won 74% of his points on the first serve.

Ultimately, Tsitsipas will need to figure out how to tackle Alcaraz's high-intensity game on clay. The Spaniard can change the tempo between rallies at will and has hardly put a foot wrong so far. He also dominates their head-to-head battle, which adds a psychological advantage before entering the bout.

Considering his record on clay and consistent performances throughout the year, Alcaraz should be able to solve this riddle and secure a semifinal berth in Paris.

Pick: Alcaraz to win in four sets.
