We seem to be running a little behind, but we’ll be welcoming our players soon. It’s a little windy and the roof is open; that should favour Alcaraz, as a still atmosphere helps the cleaner, straighter hitter.

I wonder where Alcaraz will stand today. Against Musetti, he was looking to get into court, and he might feel taking the ball early gives him the best chance of breaking even if some service-games pass him by. Or he may slide back a little for a better look.

Sinner reckons Alcaraz is the favourite, but notes he’s improving on clay. He’s moving better and more confident and knows that if he serves well he’s very difficult to beat. If he can get his line forehand going too, he’s almost unbeatable.
