Alexander Zverev vs Learner Tien Prediction
Alexander Zverev is not firing on all cylinders at the moment and he stuttered once again in his first-round match with Matteo Arnaldi but eventually got the win. He lost the opening set tie-break but fought back to win 6-7 6-3 6-4 as he took a bit of time to adapt back to hard courts after a couple of clay-court tournaments.
He now takes on American 19-year-old Learner Tien who has won three matches to reach this stage. All three wins have come in straight sets and he comes off a 7-6 6-3 victory over the experienced Cam Norrie.
Tien could really push Zverev here and the German is going to have to be better if he is going to progress here. Tien has nothing to lose and Zverev seems to be feeling the pressure these days as he has a chance of surpassing Jannik Sinner as world number one.
We are struggling to go with Zverev here given how prone he has been of late. Tien can push him all the way and it is game betting that we favour here.
