Carlos Alcaraz and Dusan Lajovic will face each other in the round of 16 of the Miami Masters 1000. The Spanish tennis player is the great favorite to win the match and one of the top contenders to win the tournament. It is not for less, since the Murcian comes like a shot and has just won Indian Wells against Daniil Medvedev.
The Spaniard has recovered the number 1 in the world and arrives in a streak of seven games unbeaten. To reach this round he has passed over the Argentine Facundo Bagnis, to whom he gave no option. A 2-0 blunt in which Bagnis could only win two games.
Now, Alcaraz will have to deal with a rival of a similar entity, although he cannot be trusted. The Serbian Lajovic comes to the match after having beaten Andy Murray and Maxime Cressy, both by 2-0 and giving the surprise. Beyond these victories, the Serbian tennis player’s records are not impressive: 5 wins and 3 losses in the last 8 games, played in minor tournaments.
In direct confrontations, Alcaraz has the measure taken from his rival. On the three occasions in which they have faced each other, the Spanish have prevailed. In this 2023 they have already faced each other a couple of times and the Serb had no choice in any.
The Miami Master 1000 tie between Carlos Alcaraz and Dusan Lajovic will be held this Sunday, March 26, not before 9:00 p.m. The clash can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live on the La Vanguardia website.
