Command Analysis

Carlos Alcaraz

Current form
Alcaraz arrived in Barcelona after a successful week in Monte Carlo. Recall that last week Carlo won the Monte Carlo Masters, in the final of which he beat Lorenzo Musetti. This season, the Spaniard has five wins on clay without a single defeat.
Professional qualities
Even a versatile player like Alcaraz can have relative vulnerabilities, but only when compared with the tennis elite in individual elements. Now he is actively improving his serve, trying to make it a more stable tool, especially important on fast surfaces and in matches against top opponents. Carlos's forehand works stably, as does his backhand, but sometimes a backhand still fails, which affects Carlos' results.
Current indicators in the tour
Alcaraz has already won two titles this season. Last week he won in Monte Carlo, and a little earlier he won the indore competition held in Rotterdam. In total, the 21-year-old Spaniard has won 19 ATP titles in his career. Carlos is currently in second place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Alcaraz won in Barcelona in 2022 and 2023.

Ethan Quinn

Current form
Quinn made his way to the main draw in Barcelona through qualifying. In the selection, the American scored two strong-willed victories - he beat Corentin Muthe and Borna Chorich. Ethan has three wins and one loss on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Quinn has impressive physical attributes, which gives him an advantage when serving, especially on high-speed surfaces, where he often earns easy points simply by putting the ball into play. One of the main trump cards of the American is the forehand, which becomes especially formidable on the hard court, where his aggressive style of play is most effective. Ethan has no significant victories on clay during his career, although it is worth noting that he passed the strong Mute and Chorich in qualifying for the competition in Barcelona.
Current indicators in the tour
The 21-year-old Quinn has won four titles in his career. Last season, he scored a victory at the Indore in Champaign. Ethan is currently ranked 126th in the world rankings and has never been in the top 100 before.
