Alcaraz gains favorites status in Madrid, despite tough draw

Given the absence of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the road is wide open for Carlos Alcaraz to win the Madrid Masters tournament. The young Spaniard won last week in Barcelona and is looking to continue his winning streak in his home country.

Update Favorites Of The Masters Madrid

Carlos Alcaraz is the clear favorite for the title. After his impressive victory last week in Barcelona, the youngster has once again shown that he has the potential to be the new king of gravel. His rivals are trailing far behind in the bookmakers' predictions. At the moment, we also don't see anyone who can make things difficult for Alcaraz. If we had to name a player, Stefanos Tsitsipas comes closest.

Unfortunately, Botic van de Zandschulp and Tallon Griekspoor have already been eliminated, and for outsiders Holger Rune (7) and Casper Ruud (4), the curtains have also closed. All the favorites are still in the tournament, and Alcaraz was able to lower his quote in the prognosis. Surprisingly, this also applies to Tsitsipas, who had a 10.00 to 1 quote at first. We have now reached the third round! Alcaraz has already won his match on Sunday, which means he will face Alexander Zverev in the next round.
