ATP Masters Madrid – Day 8

2023 ATP tour Clay Court Season.

From the 26th of April until the 7th of May the ATP tour will be stationed at Madrid were we can see the best players battle for the ATP 1000 Masters title. Here at bettingtalk247 we will keep you up to date with all the results, news and fixtures.

Yesterday we saw the first 2 Quarter finals and we have now a determined first semi final match, with the other 2 Quarter Finals taking place today. The first match saw top seed and man of the moment Carlos Alcaraz take on a confident Karen Khachanov. It is worth noting that this was the Spaniard’s last match as a teenager as Friday he will be turning 20. The first set started in a controlled manner from Alcaraz, and one break decided the set at 6-4. The second seemed to be a different story with Khachanov playing some aggressive tennis seeming to put Alcaraz in trouble and taking a 5-2 lead. However the youngster showed that he has fighting qualities as well and came roaring back to take 5 games in a row to seal his semi final spot. His opponent in the semi final will be Borna Coric who is having one of his better tournaments in a while. He looked really good and consistent in beating Daniel Altmaier 6-3, 6-3 and he could give Alcaraz a good test if he keeps this form up. Here is what Borna Coric had to say about his upcoming match up with Alcaraz:

'He's the favourite – I'm going to go out there and enjoy myself, I like to play here'

Also yesterday we had an unexpected cracker in a challenger tournament at Aix en Provence where Andy Murray beat Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-3. That will give Murray a much needed boost in confidence, it also gave Monfils some minutes under his belt to continue his comeback from injury.

Today we will see the other 2 Quarter Finals at Mutua Madrid and also some good level matches at Aix ev Provence and here are my predictions:

Zhang to beat Karatsev
Struff to win a set vs Tsitsipas
Bublik 2-0 Virtanen
Halys 2-0 Fils
