Preview
Defending Champion of the Miami Masters 2021, Hubert Hurkacz flew under the radar despite a pair of excellent results after the Miami Open title. He led Poland to the ATP Cup semifinals at the beginning of the year but was knocked out at the second round of the Australian Open and therefore the Rotterdam Open. Hurkacz then reached the semifinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships and therefore the fourth round of the Indian Wells Masters, losing to Andrey Rublev on both occasions. Hurkacz squared off against top seed Daniil Medvedev within the quarterfinals and won 7-6(7), 6-3.
Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, has continued his rapid rise to the highest of the men’s game. He started the year by losing a tricky five-set contest against Matteo Berrettini within the third round of the Australian Open. The teenager then won the most important title of his career at the Rio Open, an ATP 500 tournament. Alcaraz reached his first semifinal at the Masters 1000 level at Indian Wells. He went right down to Rafael Nadal in three closely fought sets. Alcaraz took on Miomir Kecmanovic within the quarterfinals and emerged victorious after a hard-fought three-set tussle to achieve the semifinals, thus becoming the youngest player to succeed in the last four in both Indian Wells and Miami.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Hubert Hurkacz Prediction
Both players have played at a high level throughout the tournament but Alcaraz has had a way better year overall, losing just two matches. Both of his losses this season have come against players ranked inside the highest six — Rafael Nadal and Matteo Berrettini. The teenager will definitely have the sting heading into the encounter.
Hurkacz is the better server of the 2. He hit 24 aces during his third-round match against Karatsev and his serving stats have remained impressive throughout the tournament. Alcaraz’s serve remains one amongst his few weaknesses and is a district the defending champion must make the most of if he’s to own any chance of attending to the ultimate.
The teenager excels in the majority of other aspects of the sport, demonstrating a keen understanding of tactics, exceptional court coverage, huge groundstrokes, and a never-say-die attitude. Hurkacz himself incorporates a well-rounded game, but against a person in supreme form, he might find it tough to execute his game plan.
Match Prediction- Carlos Alcaraz to win in straight sets.
