Alexander Zverev vs Alexandre Muller prediction
A slow start saw Alexander Zverev drop the first set against Canada’s Gabriel Diallo via a tie-breaker in their first round encounter. However, the German quickly got his act together and last year’s runner-up went on and reeled off the following three sets whilst dropping just seven games in the process.
Zverev has now had ample time to adapt to conditions and the environment in Melbourne and should only improve from here on. It would be a surprise if he played as poorly in the first set vs Alexandre Muller, who advanced through in a five-set-thriller over Alexei Popyrin. It remains to be seen how much that contest took out of the Frenchman from a physical perspective.
It’s a huge ask for Muller to go toe-to-toe with Zverev, such is the quality possessed by the German. He should dominate the vast majority of this second round clash and anything less than a straight sets victory for Zverev would be a surprise.
