Carlos Alcaraz had a rather tricky draw at Wimbledon, but that didn’t prevent him from winning his second slam. The world number one was unlucky again in the draw in Toronto, where he will face a lot of difficult players on his way. Being seeded no.1, Carlitos has a bye for the second round, where he could face Ben Shelton. Later, he has on his way top hardcourt players such as Hubert Hurkacz, Holger Rule, and in the semi-final either Stefanos Tsitsipas or Jannik Sinner. On the other side, the top-seeded player is Daniil Medvedev, who is the favorite to reach the final.
These are the potential opponents the Carlitos could face in Canada.
