Alexander Zverev has a solid Grand Slam experience and recently played the final at Australian Open. The German ace might be tested against Tallon Griekspoor, who beat Zverev in this year’s ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells. Griekspoor’s aggressive net play and five-set grit could deny Zverev to win this game easily. Zverev’s dominance in the H2H rivalry makes him clear favorites to reach the quarterfinals.
Prediction: Zverev to win in four sets.
Alexander Zverev: -800
Tallon Griekspoor: +500
