Sinner-Alcaraz, who is the favourite?
On the eve of a match so full of expectations, one cannot ignore the opinion of the bookmakers when looking for a favourite. These hang for Alcaraz starting from two constructs: the greater familiarity with the red clay and a more continuous approach to the Parisian event compared to that of the opponent who effectively had ten days to regain confidence with the racket. From him, the next world number 1 continues to have difficult tennis for the Spaniard, who often got lost in the very high pace of the first half hour of play. The same happened in the last precedent of Indian Wells, even if on that occasion Ferrero’s student had the clarity to change plan during the race and recover. The surface may be a further advantage for the Iberian, chasing his first Parisian final, but the fact remains that Sinner won the only challenge on clay at major circuit level, as well as the only final between the two. Not that much time has passed since Umag 2022, but the balance has changed and this precedent is more of a curiosity than a reliable reference.
