Cristian Garin vs Alexander Zverev prediction
Cristian Garin made it three wins in a row, including qualifying, as he beat Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets. The Chilean went a break down in the second set but still came through to win 6-2 6-4 after one hour and 28 minutes.
He now faces Alexander Zverev. The German reached the semi-finals of both Sunshine Double events, losing to Jannik Sinner on each occasion. His loss to the Italian at Indian Wells was tame, but he should be encouraged by his level of performance in the second match. He tested the world number two in Miami, and it took an unbelievable serving performance from Sinner to advance. Apart from a surprise early defeat at the Mexican Open, Zverev has been consistent in terms of reaching the latter stages of events so far this year.
Garin actually leads the head-to-head 2-1, but Zverev is performing well at the moment and should be able to get the job done in straight sets.
