Carlos Alcaraz will face Thiago Seyboth Wild for the first time on the tour.

Former World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will face Brazil’s Thiago Seyboth Wild in the round of 32 of the Madrid Open 2024. Alcaraz is the hot favourite to win the ATP 1000 event, as he has arrived in the Spanish capital as a two-time defending champion.

On the other side, Brazil’s Thiago Seyboth Wild has been looking decent at the clay courts of La Caza Majica. Interestingly, the 24-year-old recorded a surprising victory over Lorenzo Musetti in the round of 64 in straight sets. The win earned him a place in the next round; in addition to that, Wild has also become a topic to talk about.

Thiago Seyboth Wild has won only one career title yet on the ATP tour; however, he’s destined to win more. Moreover, the 24-year-old Brazilian is currently ranked #63 in the world, his best-ever ranking in singles. Thus, with nothing to lose, Wild has expected to give the home hope a hard time on the red soil.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Thiago Seyboth Wild preview

Carlos Alcaraz, like his tennis idol, Rafael Nadal, has a stronger game on clay. After winning the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, Alcaraz went through a difficult hardcourt season filled with heartbreaks.

At the US Open, he bowed out after a loss against Daniil Medvedev, while at the World Tour Finals, he lost against Novak Djokovic. Despite injury concerns, Alcaraz made his return to the hardcourt major in Australia, where his comeback was ended by Alexander Zverev at the Rod Laver Arena in the quarterfinals.

Nevertheless, since the start of 2024, the young Spaniard has failed to find his old rhyme. He won the Indian Wells Masters; however, he later had to withdraw from the Monte Carlo Masters and the Barcelona Open due to an injury. The ATP World No. 3 has won 15 matches this year and has lost four.

Meanwhile, Thiago Seyboth Wild has majorly been eliminated from the first or second round of ATP 1000 events or majors. However, his efforts have been praiseworthy. At the Australian Open, he won two sets against Andrey Rublev, while he also reached the quarterfinals of the Rio Open, where he eventually lost against Cameron Norrie. This year, the 24-year-old has played 19 matches, where he has managed to win only eight.

Prediction

Carlos Alcaraz, as well as Thiago Seyboth Wild, are eager to secure a spot in the next round. However, only one will advance to the round of 16. The Spanish tennis star will be playing as the hope, with a lot of support behind him.

Moreover, with the experience of winning two Grand Slam titles on different surfaces, the 20-year-old is a force to be reckoned with on the ATP tour. Alcaraz has also improved his net game, which has helped him get an upper hand over his opponent in recent months.

However, he will be facing the 24-year-old Brazilian tennis player for the first time. Thiago Seyboth Wild can turn out to be a surprise for the 2023 Wimbledon Champion. As seen against Lorenzo Musetti, Wild can move quickly on the court and create trouble for baseliners. Nevertheless, in tennis, a strong start is seen as a key to a good result.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz to win in straight sets.
