In contrast, Damir Dzumhur, ranked 54th, has a form index of 43.72 and an Elo rating of 849.51, reflecting a significant gap in current form and competitive ability.

When it comes to serving and returning, Alcaraz’s mean serve index is 94.49, while Dzumhur's is slightly higher at 95.97, indicating a marginal advantage for Dzumhur in serving. However, Alcaraz's mean return index of 87.34 is comparable to Dzumhur's 89.67, suggesting both players can effectively handle serves. Dzumhur's recent performance shows a mixed bag; he won his last match but lost the two prior. Alcaraz, on the other hand, faced a tough time at Wimbledon, losing his last match but won the two before that.

Final Prediction

Carlos Alcaraz’s superior ranking, form, and lack of fatigue provide him with a distinct advantage heading into this match. Dzumhur's recent inconsistency, coupled with the high-pressure environment of a Masters 1000 event, will challenge his performance. A key factor to watch will be Alcaraz's ability to handle Dzumhur's serve, as any slip in returning could offer Dzumhur opportunities to compete.
