Forecast: Likely total over 21.5 games. Rublev performs well at home and defends his title. Alcaraz is on a winning streak, but Rublev is capable of stepping up his game. Taking a risk on the total games is also worth considering, given the potential for a tight match and the possibility of long sets.
In the semifinal of the tournament in Doha, Andrey Rublev and Carlos Alcaraz will compete evenly. Rublev is performing excellently, has experience of winning this tournament, and maintains freshness. Alcaraz, despite victories, has not yet shown his best game. The latter looks a bit tired. Betting on Rublev's victory with a handicap of +4.5 games seems logical and profitable.
It seems that in the Rublev vs Alcaraz match there is a possibility to see 3 sets. Rublev has shown a good game that can challenge Alcaraz, who may be tired after recent tough matches. This could affect his performance and increase the likelihood of a prolonged battle on the court.
