World no.7 Alexander Zverev has established himself to a great contender for the latter half matches of the majors and would want to win his first major in Australia this year.

Without a doubt, Zverev will go into the match as an overwhelming favorite. He has been serving well and his form over the week has been phenomenal.
It has been a good week for Lajovic too. The Serb should be more than happy by his performance. Although it’s most likely that his campaign at Melbourne will come to an end by Zverev’s ruthless aggression. Expect the German to win comfortably.
