Can Tommy Paul stop the defending champion?

Carlos Alcaraz is just a few steps away from defending his title at Wimbledon. Last year’s winner of the grass court classic is back in the quarter-finals at Church Road. After a successful  start against opponents such as Vukic and Lajal, the world number three stumbled recently. He lost a total of three sets against Tiafoe and Humbert.

Now the defending champion from Spain will face Tommy Paul. The US-American is an experienced grass court player and caused a sensation at the ATP tournament in London before the Grand Slam in Wimbledon. It is quite possible that the supposed underdog will also challenge the favorite from Spain. Our Alcaraz vs. Paul betting tip doesn’t rule out a surprise

In previous years, Tommy Paul has been an unpleasant opponent for the competition on grass. Now that the US American has improved significantly and is already ranked 13th in the ATP, the 27-year-old is no longer one of the big underdogs, but has the potential to keep up with the elite.

Tommy Paul has recently won nine matches in a row on grass across all tournaments. This makes the comparatively high Wimbledon betting odds on a coup for the US American all the more surprising. Even an Alcaraz vs. Paul prediction on the supposed underdog winning the set offers decent odds. Bookmaker NEObet is also offering a special bonus promotion for new customers!

Carlos Alcaraz – Statistics & current form

Carlos Alcaraz also came through the round of 16 against Ugo Humbert largely unscathed. In a hard-fought match, the Spaniard prevailed 3:1 against the world number 16 from France, proving above all that he had nerves of steel. In the meantime, he lost the third set 1:6.

In the following set, the defending champion squandered a 3:1 lead and almost conceded the break to make it 4:5. Instead, Carlos Alcaraz went on to win the set 7:5. After the exhausting match, it remains to be seen how the world number three will perform in the showdown against Tommy Paul.

If the head-to-head is anything to go by, this encounter will not suit the Spanish youngster at all. He has already suffered two defeats in four matches. The comparatively clear role of favorite for the Spanish youngster is therefore all the more surprising. For an Alcaraz vs. Paul bet on the multiple Grand Slam winner, odds of just 1.25 are currently on offer

Will Alcaraz lose again against Paul?

In addition, Carlos Alcaraz has only won once against Tommy Paul in the four matches mentioned above without losing a set. It is quite possible that at least one set will go to the American this time too. Bets on this are definitely worthwhile and can also be placed via the Oddset sports betting app.

In the four previous rounds of Wimbledon 2024, the 21-year-old was broken a total of twelve times by his opponents. It remains to be seen how the service game will develop against a player like Tommy Paul. If Alcaraz has a bad day, he could face a few break points on the “sacred grass” at Wimbledon. Alcaraz has only lost one of his last 18 matches on grass since July 2022. The Spaniard will therefore go into the upcoming quarter-finals with a broad chest

Tommy Paul will not be hiding from the showdown against Carlos Alcaraz. The US-American has already boosted his confidence in the run-up to the Grand Slam in Wimbledon, winning the grass court tournament at London’s Queen’s Club. These performances have also been underpinned so far at Wimbledon.

After defeating a clay court player, Pedro Martinez, 3:1, a hard-fought match against qualifier Otto Virtanen followed in the second round. It took a five-set thriller to decide in Tommy Paul’s favor. In the meantime, the American was trailing 1-2 in sets and 4-5 in the fourth set. The comeback was therefore all the more pleasing.

Tommy Paul did not lose a set in the last two rounds against Bublik and Bautista-Agut. The 13th-ranked player in the world played with a rate of over 80% of points won on his first serve. If he carries this momentum into the quarter-finals, the US-American can also be expected to do well
