Alexander Zverev vs Cameron Norrie prediction

Cameron Norrie aims to end a horrendous record against Alexander Zverev when they meet in Beijing.

The German leads the Brit 8-0 in the head-to-head and arrives here on the back of US Open and Laver Cup title triumphs.

Norrie will hope to take advantage of some potential fatigue from the top seed, but isn't exactly flying himself having lost three of his previous four and he knows he will need his very best to pull off the upset.

Zverev may well give him chances but the head-to-head shows the two-time Major winner has the final say in the end.
