Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo prediction

Alexander Zverev is totting up the mileage in his quest to land a second Grand Slam title.

The French Open champion needed another five-setter to see off Quentin Halys 6-4 4-6 7-6 6-7 6-3.

The top seed will hope to improve his efficiency when he meets Alejandro Tabilo for a third time after the Chilean came from behind to defeat Alexei Popyrin 2-6 7-6 7-6 6-2.

Zverev leads the head-to-head 2-0, including a straight sets victory at the US Open last year.

Both of their previous encounters have included a tie-break and each of them have been no stranger to a breaker so far at this tournament, so there’s a good chance there will be another here.

If Sascha is to take advantage of the draw he will need to tighten up and cut down his time on court, but he may have to go over three again here against a 2026 version of Tabilo that is way stronger than 12 months ago, with plenty of games likely.
