Alexander Zverev vs Gabriel Diallo prediction
Runner-up last year, Alexander Zverev is looking to go one step further on this occasion and win it all. The German certainly has the game to do so and winning a Grand Slam feels like the natural next step in his career after multiple strong years on tour. The last two years in this competition have seen him reach the semi-finals and final respectively.
Gabriel Diallo has his work cut out for him here and the Canadian is expected to play much of the match on the back foot as Zverev looks to work him around the court. The quality of Zverev should wind up far too strong for Diallo and it’s well worth backing the German to win in straight sets.
Alexander Zverev vs Gabriel Diallo tip: Alexander Zverev to win 3-0
