Undoubtedly, Andy Murray is building his resurgence on the ATP Tour tournament after tournament. Moreover, with his win over Hurkacz, he has found the missing piece in his game, the confidence to win big.

On the other side, the Spanish teenager has the resolution to take down big stars fearlessly. In the opening round, he defeated Englishman Dan Evans in straight sets 6-4, 6-3.

Hence, Alcaraz will not make this second-round battle for Murray any easier. But the first one to get on to the nerves of their opponent might get through to the Last 8.
