Carlos Alcaraz in this match shows instability and risk in his game. He doesn't always play at his maximum power, which could be a problem against Hubert Hurkacz. Hurkacz, on the other hand, is one of the top players on this surface and demonstrates excellent play on hard court. It's also worth noting that in their recent encounters, Hurkacz has shown himself to be stronger and has had better results. He has improved the quality of his first serve, which is an important factor in the match. It's worth mentioning that Hubert is working on his mistakes and their number is gradually decreasing. In the end, my prediction for this match is a victory for Hubert Hurkacz, as he has a more stable game and has an advantage on this surface.
In the semifinals of the Cincinnati tournament, Carlos Alcaraz and Hubert Hurkacz will meet. Alcaraz, despite being the world's top-ranked player, has shown some inconsistency in his recent matches. He has played five of his last matches in a three-set format, indicating that he may not be in his best form. However, Hurkacz is also familiar with matches that have a high number of games. He has played three out of his last five matches with a total over. Both players have faced each other several times before, and in their recent match, Alcaraz emerged victorious in a three-set battle. Last year and last month in Miami and Toronto respectively, Hurkacz lost to Alcaraz in matches that were decided in tiebreaks. Based on the given information, it can be assumed that this match will be a tense one with a high number of games. Considering their previous encounters and the statistics of their recent matches, a bet on a total over 22.5 games seems reasonable. This could be an interesting prediction for this match.
