Carlos Alcaraz v Marin Cilic Head to Head
There have been three previous meetings between these two players and Alcaraz leads the head to head 2-1. Cilic had won on clay at Estoril last year before Alcaraz levelled things out in Miami earlier this season.
They met again as recently as the Cincinnati Masters and Alcaraz eased through to a straight-set victory over his opponent.

Alcaraz Storms Past Brooksby
Showing no signs of the pressure he had spoken about in the lead-up to this year’s US Open, Alcaraz needed just two hours and 14 minutes to take care of Jenson Brooksby in the third round on Saturday.
Alacaraz won 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to register his third successive straight-set win that gave him his second successive place in the fourth round of this competition. Having made his US Open debut last season, Alcaraz had reached the quarterfinal last year.
With wins over Sebastian Baez and Federico Coria already under his belt, the question was if Alcaraz would be able to dish out a similar performance against a player better suited for clay than those two.
And he did it in fine style, breaking Brooksby seven times in the encounter. Where Alcaraz scored over his opponent was the manner in which he attacked Brooksby’s second serve, allowing him to win just 27% of those points.
Alcaraz will start out a 1/5 favourite with bet365 in this encounter.

Cilic Needs Four Sets, and Hours
In a match that lasted over four hours, Cilic was finally able to quell the Dan Evans challenge in the third round and set up this meeting with Alcaraz.
Cilic was involved in a very keen tussle over the first two sets which could have gone either way but a couple of breaks in the third set looked to have broken Evans’ will.
While the Brit did put up a fight in the fourth set, Cilic needed just two break-points to get hold of his opponent’s serve and clinch it 7-6 (11), 6-7 (3), 6-2, 7-5.
The Croat had earlier overcome Maximilian Marterer and Albert Ramos-Vinolas in straight sets to seal his third round berth, and knows a thing or two about upsetting the apple-cart, having won this title in 2013.
Cilic is 14/5 with bet365 to surprise his opponent.
Alcaraz v Cilic Prediction and Tip
