Carlos Alcaraz will start the Rotterdam tournament with a confident victory. Botic van de Zandschulp is in poor form, losing all three matches this season. Alcaraz, despite his defeat to Djokovic, showed excellent play at the Australian Open. The Spaniard's previous loss to Botic at the US Open will be a powerful motivation for revenge today. A short and decisive match in favor of Alcaraz is expected.
