The championship match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev at the ATP Masters 100o event will mark their sixth meeting on the men’s circuit. In the 2023 season, the ATP players faced each other four times, with the Spaniard prevailing on three occasions and currently having a 3-2 lead in their H2H record.
Prediction: Alcaraz to defend his title at the BNP Paribas Open
The Spaniard is well aware of the hard court surface at this tournament, as he won the ATP Masters 1000 title in the 2023 season. While defeating some of the top-ranked players like Sinner and Zverev, Alcaraz has only dropped two sets in this entire BNP Paribas Open, while he also pulled off a bagel. Given his recent stellar form on the outdoor hard courts and his number two seeding, the 2-time singles Grand Slam champion is the favorite to win this match.
