Top seed Carlos Alcaraz has been the star kid that has got the whole world talking and he will be even more confident at the Barcelona Open after his recent win at the Indian Wells Masters where he beat Medvedev in the finals. At the Swiss Indoors, he made it to the semi-finals losing to Auger-Aliassime in straight sets, and at the Miami Open, he lost to Sinner in the semi-finals missing out on yet another title. He was a huge success at the US Open after which he took a month’s gap from tennis. He beat Ruud in the final in what was a four-set thriller for the fans. In the Rio Open, he again made it to the finals but this time lost the title despite winning the first set of the match to Cameron Norrie who took revenge for his defeat in Argentina. In the ongoing Barcelona Open, he beat Borges in the first-round matchup by 6-3, 6-1, and in the round-of-16 matchup, he beat Bautista Agut by 6-3, 7-5. In the quarter-finals, he beat Davidovich Fokina by 7-6, 6-4, and then went on to beat Evans in the semis by 6-2, 6-2.
Stefanos Tsitsipas hasn’t looked at his best so far and the start of 2023 has been woeful for him as he looks for a change of fortune at the ongoing Barcelona Open. He lost to Djokovic at the Australian Open final after beating the likes of Khachanov, Lehecka, Sinner, Griekspoor, and Hijikata. At the Miami Open, he also made it to the round of 16 stage losing to Khachanov, and at the Monte Carlo Masters, he had to settle for a quarter-finals finish as he was knocked out by Fritz. At the ATP World Tour Finals, he could only achieve a single victory thereby failing to move onto the semis. His other performances involved a first-round loss at the Indian Wells Masters to Jordan Thompson and a round-of-16 finish at Rotterdam. In the ongoing Barcelona Open, he beat Cachin in the first-round matchup by 4-6, 2-6, and in the round-of-16 matchup, he beat Shapovalov by 3-6, 2-6. In the quarter-finals, he beat de Minaur by 4-6, 2-6, and then went on to beat Musetti in the semis by 6-1, 6-3.
