Alcaraz is on top of the list with 23 clay wins on tour this season, including three clay-court titles. If he’s able to reach the finals here in Hamburg, he’ll break into the Top 5 of the ATP Rankings for the first time in his career.

Borna Coric Retires from Match

Molcan has had an impressive tournament over the past three matches. He went on to upset Pablo Carreno Busta in the second round, winning in three sets. This earned him his spot in the quarterfinals, where he went onto beat Borna Coric 7(9)-6(7), 2-0, when Coric retired from the match.

The 24-year old is still looking for his first ATP Tour title, and will be looking to reach his third final of the season.

Not the way anyone wants to win 😔

Alcaraz vs Molcan Pick

With -900 odds to win the match, it’s hard to say to bet against the Spaniard. So let’s try and find a better bet.

Molcan will look to give Alcaraz trouble, but this might be a simple case of the Spaniard being able to outplay his opponent. Alcaraz is the more experienced and successful on clay, no one has really been able to beat him.

Yes, it seems like Alcaraz will be able to move on without much trouble, but the best bet is in total games.

Best Bet: Under 19.5 games (-110)
