Alexander Zverev vs Matteo Berrettini – Match Predictions
Contents
With both players vying for a place in the round of 16, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Alexander Zverev to Win
It’s important to point out that Matteo Berrettini is a former Wimbledon finalist; he reached the final of this tournament two years ago, losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets. However, Berrettini has struggled against Alexander Zverev in the past; he has lost four of five encounters with the German, including their last three. As a matter of fact, Berrettini won just one set in his last three clashes with Zverev. Considering Alexander Zverev has five wins in his last six matches, we believe the former World number 2 will extend his winning streak against Matteo Berrettini today.
At Least 11 Games in First Set
We’ve already established that these players squared off against each other a fair few times, it’s also important to note that the first sets tend to be tightly-contested. As a matter of fact, the last two times these players met, the first sets ended in tie breaks. Furthermore, Alexander Zverev and Matteo Berrettini have met five times, and in four of those skirmishes, the first set featured at least 12 games. On that note, we are taking the over 10.5 games option for the first set.
Alexander Zverev vs Matteo Berrettini Preview
We’ve established our Alexander Zverev vs Matteo Berrettini predictions; let’s see how these players fared in the previous rounds of this competition.
Alexander Zverev
Alexander Zverev took on Yosuke Watanuki and Gijs Brouwer in the first two rounds, defeating these players with ease. Compared to his previous opponents however, Alexander Zverev will be a relatively bigger fish to fry. It’s fair to point out that Zverev came out on top the last three times he faced Berrettini on the court; so it’ll be interesting to see how he matches up against the Italian.
Matteo Berrettini
On the other hand, Matteo Berrettini is coming off an impressive straight sets victory over Alex de Minaur; he had faced compatriot Lorenzo Sonego in the first round, beating him in four sets. The Italian player will hope to improve his poor record against Alexander Zverev today.
