Cincinnati Masters 2022: Carlos Alcaraz vs. Cameron Norrie Tennis Pick and Prediction

TennisSection previews the 2022 Cincinnati Open as Carlos Alcaraz takes on Cameron Norrie in the quarterfinals on Friday, August 19th, 2022.

Will Carlos Alcaraz get the win? Will Cameron Norrie pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have an exciting top 10 clash. Who will triumph and move on to the semifinals at the 2022 Cincinnati Open?

Carlos Alcaraz got a really good win over Marin Cilic, struggling to close out the first set but playing his very best tennis in the 2nd. As he comes up against Cameron Norrie, he’ll be fueled with confidence. His aggressive play and the quick conditions here will help him out a lot as he looks to continue his impressive run of form here and take out the No. 1 Brit for a spot in the semifinals of the 2022 Cincinnati Open.

Cameron Norrie looked impressive in his win over Ben Shelton, dropping just 2 games to book a meeting with Carlos Alcaraz. It’s going to be a brutal uphill battle for Norrie, who despite playing a solid tournament, knows his record against the Spaniard isn’t too good. If he wants to win this one, he’ll have to hope Alcaraz doesn’t show up the way he has so far, otherwise I don’t see him being able to do all too much here as the two clash for a place in the last four here at the 2022 Cincinnati Open.

Carlos Alcaraz and Cameron Norrie have met three times before, with Carlos Alcaraz leading the head to head 3-0. The head to head is not looking good for Norrie, as he’s lost all 3 meetings fairly convincingly, it’s just not a good matchup for him, especially on a quicker court where Alcaraz will be constantly dictating play, not allowing for Norrie to slowly wind down his opponents as he usually does. Let’s see if Alcaraz can make a strong showing on his way to the semifinals at the 2022 Cincinnati Open.
