Alcaraz vs Daniel Prediction

Carlos Alcaraz got off to a flying start at the 2023 French Open. The top-seeded Spaniard breezed past Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli in straight sets. Alcaraz played at high intensity from beginning to end and showcased his wide variety of skills and power to win in almost two hours. He hammered 26 winners and converted seven of 18 break points. Taro Daniel, for his part, pulled off a shock win over the in-form Christopher O’Connell. Daniel used his experience of playing more Grand Slam matches than O’Connell to his advantage, taking an insurmountable lead in the first two sets. Although the Aussie managed to stay on serve for a lot longer in the third set, Daniel upped the ante at 4-all to secure a straight sets win with a late break. Daniel is a rejuvenated player this season and he’s had a great first half of the campaign on hard courts. Can he pull off the biggest shock of them all? That’s very unlikely to happen. Alcaraz is the top favorite for a reason and he’ll get through this one very easily.
