Alexander Zverev vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry: Preview
Zverev outplayed Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round in straight sets to book a spot in the quarterfinals.

Alexander Zverev vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry: Prediction
This match looks nicely poised, as both players will back themselves to book a place in the semifinals. However, given Alexander Zverev’s exposure to such matches in the past, he will be the slight favorite. The German is prone to making unforced errors when put under pressure, something which Etcheverry will aim to do early on in the encounter. This match is expected to be a five-set encounter, with Zverev just coming out on top in the end.
Prediction: Alexander Zverev to win in five sets
