Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz clash in the 2026 Paris Masters semi-finals, with the main tip being for Set 1 to go over 10.5 games. Alcaraz has featured in a tie break in 11 of his last 14 matches, while Ruud’s serve has been broken only once in Paris. Both players are in strong form, suggesting a long and closely contested opening set. Although Ruud has not dropped a set in Paris, Alcaraz’s recent performances indicate he has the weapons to reach the final, but a tight first set is expected.
