Carlos Alcaraz vs Thiago Seyboth Wild prediction
A thrilling encounter is on the cards between Carlos Alcaraz and Thiago Seyboth Wild in the third round of the Madrid Open. Both players will be eager to continue their run in the ATP 1000 event.
Alcaraz is a force to be reckoned with on the men's tour. Despite a rough patch since clinching the Wimbledon Championships last year, he dug deep to defend his title at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open. The Spaniard has a fascinating all-around game on clay and often finds a way out of tough situations.
