Four-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz will take on World No. 7 Alex de Minaur of Australia in the quarterfinals of the 2025 ATP Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell. The Spaniard, who recently won the Monte Carlo Masters, is chasing his third Barcelona Open. Alcaraz knocked out World No. 80 Laslo Djere in straight sets to continue his winning streak in the Catalonia Capital.

On the other hand, Alex de Minaur got the better of Jacob Fearnley 6-1, 6-2 to book his place in the final eight. The 26-year-old has won nine ATP Tour singles and has reached five major quarterfinals. Alex de Minaur had a disappointing season this year since reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open for the first time. Last season, Minaur beat Nadal in the Barcelona Open but lost to Arthur Fils in the third round.

Carlos Alcaraz, a six-time Masters 1000 winner, is on a seven-game unbeaten run on clay starting with the Monte Carlo Masters. Alex de Minaur’s recent performance on clay could be a concern. His last clay quarterfinal was in Monte Carlo 2024 when he was defeated by Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Alex de Minaur and Carlos Alcaraz met each other in the semifinal of the same event in 2022, and the Australian lost in a nail-biting three-set encounter.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Alex de Minaur Barcelona Open 2025 Prediction

The head-to-head record suggests a one-way domination between the two players. Alcaraz, the reigning French Open winner, is going through a winning phase on the clay court. Alex de Minaur can push the game for the final set, but cannot counter the Spaniard on this surface easily. Alcaraz is more comfortable on the outdoor clay courts and has a 24-4 record on clay over the past year.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz in three sets.
