Alcaraz & Moutet set for high stakes Round-3 showdown.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz faces Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the Australian Open 2026 Round of 32 on Friday. After two challenging encounters that were far from straightforward despite being done in three sets, the Spaniard will be looking for a dominant performance. Meanwhile, Moutet is a tricky customer who does not give his opponents much to work with. The winner of this clash is set to take on either Tommy Paul or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the pre-quarterfinals.
Alcaraz and Moutet have never faced each other on the professional circuit. The top seed has the monumental task of overhauling eight titles from 2025, and has a chaser in the form of Jannik Sinner. His career win-loss record of 280-65 comfortably stands superior to Moutet’s 97-115 performance on the ATP Tour. Currently ranked No. 37 in the world, the 26-year-old has never gotten past the fourth round of a Grand Slam. On the other hand, Alcaraz beat Adam Walton and Yannick Hanfmann in Melbourne Park so far.
According to the tennis betting odds, Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite (-10000) and Corentin Moutet is the underdog (+1700) in this Round of 32 contest, via BetMGM.

Our Pick: Total Games Under 27.5 at -108
Alcaraz has superior stats over Moutet in every department, making this a disproportionate betting market. The six-time Grand Slam champion has an implied probability of over 90% in this encounter, and betting on any of the moneyline or handicaps will not yield any profits whatsoever. This is why a bet on the total games going under 27.5 could become a low risk best bet at -108.
There is no available head-to-head record between Alcaraz and Moutet. Their rivalry stands at 0-0 ahead of the Australian Open 2026 Round of 32.
