Alcaraz and Korda have faced each other once, last November in the NextGen ATP Finals title match., with victory for the 18-year-old from Murcia by 4-3, 4-2 and 4-2. In principle, Carlos, seeded eighth, is the clear favourite, even more so as it is a duel on clay.

In the path of the Spaniard, if he beats the American, they would be ranked Taylor Fritz in the round of 16, Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals and Casper Ruud in the semifinals before a hypothetical final against Zverev.
