Alexander Zverev vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction
Francisco Cerundolo aims to protect a perfect record against two-time champion Alexander Zverev.
The Argentine leads 2-0 in the head-to-head versus the top seed with both encounters taking place on clay, including a comeback success in Buenos Aires earlier this year.
The 29th seed comes into the showdown with the world number two having ended compatriot Francisco Comesana’s Madrid run with a 6-4 6-4 triumph.
Zverev was made to work hard in his third round win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina but will always see himself as a favourite in these conditions.
Cerundolo’s tactics will involve engaging in plenty of forehand-to forehand exchanges that can do plenty of damage to the German, and the South American is a decent bet to take at least a set in this one.
Alexander Zverev vs Francisco Cerundolo tip: Over 2.5 sets
