Alex De Minaur will be looking to end Carlos Alcaraz’s dominance at the Barcelona Open on Friday. The two face off in the quarter-final in their fourth meeting, with the winner set to face Stefanos Tsitsipas or Arthur Fils next. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Alcaraz returned to Barcelona and picked up from where he had left off as a two-time defending champion. He blanked qualifier Ethan Quinn and Laslo Djere in straight sets in the opening two rounds.

The Spaniard has now won eight straight matches at the Barcelona Open without dropping a set. He will be confident of getting past the next hurdle, having beaten De Minaur in all their three meetings.

Despite his improved performances in the recent weeks, De Minaur comes here as a heavy underdog. The Australian got to Barcelona off a run to the Monte Carlo semi-finals and will be looking to go deeper here.

However, the player he faces cannot be brushed aside. This factor is further emphasized by his poor run against top-5 players. His record against such stands at 1-6.

While he is expected to struggle against Alcaraz, De Minaur is best poised to nick a set off the rampant Spaniard. He did so twice in their three previous meetings.
