Carlos Alcaraz faces Matteo Berrettini in the Paris Masters, with Berrettini tipped to cover a +4.5 games handicap. Berrettini has won four of his last five matches, including victories over Nakashima and Humbert, and has taken at least one set in all four previous meetings with Alcaraz. Both players frequently play tiebreaks, making over 0.5 tiebreaks another recommended market. While Alcaraz is the favourite, his record at the Paris Masters is modest, and Berrettini's current form and big serve on indoor courts suggest he can keep the match close.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Matteo Berrettini ATP Paris Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Matteo Berrettini can cover a +4.5 line when he comes up against Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters on Thursday night, with value on at least one tiebreak and an outright upset for the resurgent Italian.

The Paris Masters is always a funny tournament filled with upsets as players come to the end of another long and gruelling season. As such, there's only two top 10 players remaining heading into the R16 and Alcaraz could just be the next victim.

The Spaniard has only been past the R16 once at this tournament, while Berrettini has been playing some big tennis over the last fortnight. I'm taking the Italian to cover with a big start, while I'm also liking 1+ tiebreak at plus money. Small stake on the upset, with Berrettini taking a set in all four previous meetings.

Odds
Reasoning
Berrettini +4.5$1.90 @ BetRavenBerrettini has won four of his last five matches, including big wins over Nakashima & Humbert this week, while he's taken 1+ set in all four previous meetings vs Alcaraz - indoors, this is a big start for the Italian
Over 0.5 Tiebreaks$2.50 @ DabbleBerrettini has seen 1+ tiebreak in 11 of his last 12 completed matches, while Alcaraz has seen 1+ tiebreak in 11 of his last 14 outings. The pair have played four total tiebreaks in their four previous encounters
Berrettini Win$6.00 @ CrownBetAlcaraz obviously the big favourite, but he's never won the Paris Masters & been past the R16 only once. He's lost four of his last six matches at the tournament. Berrettini is 2-2 vs top 10 players this year & has the weapons + big serve to do damage on fast indoor courts. Not the worst $6.00 bet you'll ever make

Carlos Alcaraz Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 39-5
  • ATP Paris Record: 6-5
  • Current Ranking: No. 3
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 1 (2022)

It's been a strong comeback from a wrist injury for Alcaraz - he's won 17 of his 19 matches since returning to action, picking up titles in Tokyo and last week in Vienna.

Alcaraz's level was very high in that Vienna final, where he crushed Alex de Minaur for the loss of just five games.

Usually burnt out after a long season at this stage of the year, Alcaraz is fresh after four months on the sidelines and eager to win a maiden Paris Masters and also take out the ATP Finals in Turin.

Still, the Spaniard suffers from concentration lapses - he gave up a break lead in the first set and was down 1-4 in the ensuing tiebreak against Alex Michelsen before reeling off six straight points and completing a 7-6(4), 6-3 victory, improving to 11-0 in opening matches for the year.

Matteo Berrettini Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 22-18
  • ATP Paris Record: 2-3
  • Current Ranking: No. 43
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 6 (2022)

Berrettini is usually suffering from injuries at this stage of the year, hence why he'd never won a match at the Paris Masters before arriving at this year's tournament (0-3 lifetime).

However, for the first time in a while, the Italian appears to be operating with a clean bill of health.

The former World No. 6 played well to make the Vienna quarter-finals last week before going down to De Minaur and he's continued that form so far in the French capital.

Berrettini prevailed in a deciding set tiebreak to edge out Brandon Nakashima 6-4 3-6 7-6(8) before taking out former finalist, home hope and indoors specialist Ugo Humbert, 7-6(3) 7-5.
