 Carlos Alcarez vs. Daniel Mevedev is the final group stage match for these guys at the AWP finals of 2023. And both are looking to end with a win before the semi-finals. Daniel Mevedev comes into the tournament as the number three in the world and after a terrible campaign last year losing all three matches we'll be looking to do something better at the AWP finals this year. His best result here is winning the title back in 2020 but as I mentioned last year went zero and three in the groups and we'll look to change that and try and replicate what he did in 2020. His win-loss record this year, 64 wins, 16 losses is amongst one of the best but he has been split when he does make it to finals of tournaments winning five titles from the nine finals that he's played with his biggest final of course being at that US Open. His best win beating Djokovic earlier in the season in Dubai after Djokovic had just won the Australian Open and his worst loss came in the first red of the French Open losing to the qualifier Vilj after having one of his best clay court season preparations for that French Open yet. His form however hasn't been good with a couple of losses over the last couple of weeks but he did make the final of Vienna. So he does have a little bit of form. Carlos Alcárez comes into the AWP finals as the number two in the world and will actually make his debut at the finals even though last year he did qualify of course having to pull out though with injuries so first time we'll see him here. His record this year 63 wins 10 losses and his titles and finals six titles from the eight finals the only two losses he's had in finals caused to Djokovic in Cincinnati and actually to Norrie at the start of the year in Rio de Janeiro. His best win Djokovic at Wimbledon of course one of the biggest achievements of his career and his worst loss came in Rome against the qualifier from Hungary Mariján and it was just after Madrid where Alcárez actually won the title so it was a big shock. His form however hasn't been good coming into this finals with a couple of losses after a long injury delay and not playing a lot of tournaments after the US Open. These guys have played four times or four with the head to head split down the middle 2-2 with Medvedev winning that previous match at the US Open in a close force setter but Alcárez did win at both Wimbledon and Indian Wells so the fourth time this year they're playing Alcárez having the 2-1 lead if Medvedev is going to win this one he needs to serve well he served really well against Vera and of course he played really well against Rublev in that first match he needs to serve well against Alcárez and try and make those passing shots that he did so well against Sasha Zverev if Alcárez is going to win this one he needs to serve like he did against Rublev but also come into the net and use that variety that he knows he can use against Medvedev to win because we saw a little bit with Zverev he used the variety and it actually worked a little bit against Medvedev in the first set and we know Alcárez is so much better than Zverev at the net so if you can get to the net and did those drop shots you might get the win such a massive matchup to finish the group stage 2 versus 3 Medvedev is already in the semifinals Alcárez trying to get there I reckon Medvedev is going to win though in three sets I think the fast courts are a little bit better for Medvedev and I think he served might be a little more aggressive kind of like what Zverev did in that first match against Alcárez but let me know down in the comments below who's going to win this one
