Carlos Alcaraz heads into his ATP Tokyo second round match against Matteo Arnaldi as the clear favorite. Alcaraz, the defending Japan Open champion, boasts a 6-0 record at the event, while Arnaldi has a poor recent record, especially against Top 5 and Top 50 players. All signs point to Alcaraz dominating the encounter, with betting tips favoring under 19.5 games and a straight sets victory. The match will be available to stream on Stake for registered users, making it easy for fans to catch all the action live.

Carlos Alcaraz is expected to defend his title in Tokyo and Matteo Arnaldi has little chance of stopping him here. I am backing Carlos Alcaraz to get this one done in quick time.

Alcaraz Unbeaten in Tokyo.

Carlos Alcaraz recently spent four months recovering from a wrist injury, forcing him missing the French Open and Wimbledon as a result.

The Spaniard returned at the US Open, losing one set on his way to the quarter-finals where he went down in 5 sets to Ben Shelton.

The 23-year-old played once at the Laver Cup, beating Taylor Fritz 6-3 4-6 (13-11).

Alcaraz was pushed by Alex Michelsen in the first round in Tokyo, coming through 7-6 4-6 6-1 after winning 56% of his 2nd serves and saving 8/13 break points. He is now 6-0 at the event.

Arnaldi in Poor Form


Matteo Arnaldi dropped out of the Top 100 before going on a great run at the French Open. He won an epic match against Frances Tiafoe on his way to the semi-finals where he withdrew due to exhaustion.

The Italian lost seven of his previous nine matches before coming to Tokyo, beaten by players outside the Top 50 in three consecutive matches.

The 25-year-old came back to beat Rei Sakamoto 2-6 6-4 6-4 in the first round, saving 2/4 break points.

Verdict

Matteo Arnaldi came to Tokyo in poor form and I don’t see how he has any chance of stopping a rejuvenated Carlos Alcaraz. The defending champion can get this one done in straight sets.
