Alexander Zverev vs Denis Shapovalov: Prediction

Zverev is one of the heaviest favorite to win the title this year. And he has delivered so far as promised. He hasn’t been tested much yet but given his recent form, he will expect an easy outing against Shapovalov. But the Canadian won’t make life easier for Zverev. He hasn’t been in the best form but with the weird angles he creates on his shots- he could beat anyone on the given day. Expect a tight match with both players testing each others to the limit- and Zverev eventually coming out as the victor.

Prediction: Zverev to win in 4 sets.
