Zverev vs Alcaraz Prediction 14 March 2024

The best analytical breakdown of the Indian Wells Masters 1/4 finals bout Alexander Zverev - Carlos Alcaraz is our prediction. Will the second number of the world ranking be able to revenge the sixth for the recent defeats at the ATP Finals and Australian Open. Sportbooks are inclined to the opposite development of events. We, in our turn, are not giving any harsh assessments yet.

Zverev, perhaps, remains the main hero of the current season along with Yannick Cinner, as he has not shown such stable tennis for a long time. After his ignominious exit from the Acapulco and Los Cabos events, Alexander's position has slightly deteriorated. However, he avoided a long-term decline. Last night, the German defeated Alex de Minaur in a hard-fought match, playing poorly in service games (3 break points). The athlete likes to gain momentum as the tournament progresses, as he himself said in a recent interview.

For Alcaraz, the winter stretch was marked by a lot of setbacks, largely due to injuries, but he took the defense of the cup as responsibly as possible. Initially, some experts were skeptical about Carlos' immediate prospects, but now confidence in imminent success is growing. The Spaniard has lost just a set in three matches, realizing just under half of his break points (13 out of 28). The local courts are a great match for his playing style, as he feels much better on the slower surface due to his extensive training on clay.
