Richard Gasquet vs Carlos Alcaraz: prediction & betting tips 16/01/2024

Richard Gasquet

Richard Gasquet has played in a semi-exhibitional manner in the Australian Open since 2022. He lost the very first game last year. Ugo Humbert won 6:3, 6:4, 6:3).

Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz didn’t participate in other tournaments this season. He will start right from the Australian Open. Last season was the best for the Spanish player on hard. He won 26 out of his 32 games, even though he missed the first two months.

Richard Gasquet – Carlos Alcaraz prediction

Richard Gasquet reached the final of the tournament in Auckland prior to the start of the Australian Open last season. This is the best result for the experienced player on hard. This time Gasquet was eliminated in the first round by Arthur Fils (3:6, 4:6). Gasquet has played with the opponents from the top 10 on hard on five occasions, losing each game.

I don’t think that Gasquet will be able to perform well in his 37 years. Carlos Alcaraz should win the match easily.
