Francisco Cerundolo Player Overview
The Argentine breezed past Italy's Fognini in the first round at Monte Carlo. He didn't drop a single game in the first set and conceded just three in the second. The match wrapped up in an hour, giving Cerundolo time to rest and prepare for Alcaraz. However, let's be honest, Francisco is far from being the favorite in this clash. It's unlikely he'll have much to counter Carlos, who is hitting his stride ahead of Roland Garros. Sure, Cerundolo will put up a fight, but he seems powerless against his opponent's strength.

Carlos Alcaraz Player Overview
Alcaraz's coaching staff expertly manages his workload. It's unlikely we'll see the Spaniard participating in a vast number of tournaments; instead, he'll focus on preparing for grass and clay surfaces. After all, he excels on these courts. Moreover, it's hard to find anyone stronger than Alcaraz on clay. The court is relatively slow, allowing him to showcase his incredible power and strong backhand, leaving opponents with little chance. The aggression will start from the very first moment, so Cerundolo needs to be on high alert.

Editor's Prediction
Don't try to find any patterns or statistics here. While Cerundolo did defeat Alcaraz on clay in their only head-to-head encounter, it doesn't mean much now. Carlos has rested, prepared, and as we approach Roland Garros, we should see him in top form. This match seems one-sided. Our pick is Carlos Alcaraz with a handicap of -4.5.
