Can Alcaraz win his second ATP Masters 1000 title in Madrid?

Alcaraz has already shown that he is one of the best players in the world right now after winning the Miami Open earlier this year. Last month, he also won in Barcelona. In Madrid, he has a great chance to win his first Masters 1000 title on clay. 

In the final, he could face either Alexander Zverev or Stefanos Tsitsipas. Earlier, Tsitsipas won the Monte Carlo Masters, as he showed good form on the red soil. Either way, it will be tough to beat the Spaniard at the moment, as he has been playing some unbelievable tennis for the past few months.
