With Nadal coming out of injury here in Madrid Alcaraz definetly takes the role of the favorite plus with such a long match against Goffin, Nadal is probobly tired from it. So this will to me probobly be a match in 3 sets but we will see if Alcaraz can win against an experienced Nadal

Also feel like Alcaraz should be even a bigger favorite today. He will be psyched to take down Nadal and as you said Nadal is coming off the injury and he was quite shaky against Goffin.

I'd really like to see Alcaraz vs a fully-fit Nadal, that would be some match ... and I'd definitely have Nadal as favourite for it.
But as everyone is saying, Nadal is not fully-fit yet, and is slowly making a comeback. Alcaraz should probably be favourite, but even so I don't think it will be easy for him. Nadal can never be written off, as we saw in the AO only a few months ago.

It's over now, Alcaraz won in a 3 set battle, 2-6, 6-1, 3-6. It's good while it last though.

Now another big challenge for Alcaraz, he will be up against Novak Djokovic. So this is going to be another interesting match to witness. If Alcaraz continue with his magical run, his chances of winning this tournament increases.

We will wait then for the next semifinalist, between Rublev and Tsitsipas, FAA vs Zverev.

Alcaraz is already showing that he will be a great player, and that he could even surpass the achievements of his role model Nadal.
I read somewhere that he achieved more than Nadal when Nadal was his age.
All that matters is that he is bypassed by injuries and that he remains psychologically strong and stable.
With him, Medvedev, Zverev and other young tennis stars, it will be increasingly difficult for Nadal and Djokovic to win major tennis tournaments.

Second semi final, Tsitsipas v Zverev, thats a tough one to call too eventhough Tsitsipas
is the favourite, maybe a conservative handicap bet on Zverev +4.5 @1.36...

That was exactly my reasoning before their last match in Monte Carlo. They always had close matches and over felt like a free money but then Tsitisipas destroyed him 6:4 6:2. I feel like Tsitispas now has the edge over Zverev, especially on clay. Their H2h is also 7:3 for Tsitisi side and he won all 3 encounters on clay.

This one is simple ML for Tsitipas @1.65 for me.

That is unfortunate that he has an ankle niggle, he ^{or anyone really} needs to turn up
with an A Game to Djokovic. If it starts troubling him more today he should pull out so
even betting on Alcaraz with a handicap is risky, as Trofo its best to skip this one.

Alcaraz suffered a foot injury (right ankle) in the second set, but he composed himself in the 3rd to close out Rafa and have his first win against him. Nadal still very positive during post injury even though he losses this match.

I was forcing Alcaraz all the time in this tournament and wanted to do the same all the way to the trophy but that foot injury has me worried. He moved poorly in second set and then started playing good in third again and that was while the injury did not have time to cool down. Could make him some problems today and if you are not on your 100% Djoković is the worst possible opponent. Really disappointed I have to skip this one.

Tsitsipas vs Zverev on into the semi finals. And then Alcaraz vs Djokovic.

Both had 3 setter matches and were given tough enough ones at that. The favourite is
Alcaraz...but we can never underestimate Nadal's ability to "find a way" which of course
wont last forever.

Odds on Rollbit are Nadal 1.97 - Alcaraz 1.81

I think I will go with Alcaraz, his drop shot plays for example could make the
difference?

Yeah, seems that Alcaraz is the favorite against Nadal, what a turn of events.

He already developed so much since their last match at Indian Wells if I'm not mistaken. But as you have said, Nadal even Alcaraz admitted it, has always find a way to win even if the chances are very slim. But if Alcaraz wins in 2 sets here, I think we might say that it is really there is a shift, and it's Alcaraz time.

I watched Hurkasz a lot this week and he is playing very solid game copled with some great serving. I am thinking Djoković will have big problems today if gets out just a bit off and I did not see his top game yet after return to competitive tennis. I am taking Hurkasz to take at least one set.

For sure, this is a match to watch, and this could be the biggest, because it's the new guy vs the old one.

Maybe it might come to a surprised that Alcaraz is the favorite. But with Nadal recent match against Goffin, he seems to be out of the line so to speak. Needed another set in order to win, while Alcaraz played very well against Norrie although it is also a 3 set win.
