Benjamin Bonzi vs Alexander Zverev prediction
Benjamin Bonzi last competed in the Bordeaux Challenger, losing in the second-round to Tallon Griekspoor. He was the only player to take a set off Jannik Sinner at the Madrid Open, but his best results have been on the Challenger Tour. He made a final in Pau, along with three quarter-final appearances at that level. He is ranked just inside the top 100 in the world.
He faces world number three Alexander Zverev. The German, who reached the final of this slam in 2024, is still searching for his elusive first major. Zverev has been consistent in 2026, with a final in Madrid along with semi-finals at three other Masters events and the Australian Open, but he is yet to win a title. The three-time Grand Slam finalist has already lost to Jannik Sinner on four occasions this year.
Zverev will be the commanding favourite to start his campaign with a comfortable win in round one.
