Matteo Berrettini vs Alexander Zverev prediction
Alexander Zverev faces a familiar foe in the second round at Indian Wells.
The German suffered a surprise exit early on in Acapulco in his first tournament since the Australian Open and will be eager to bounce back.
It won’t be easy against Matteo Berrettini, an opponent he leads 4-3 in the head-to-head, but who has beaten him in their last two face-offs.
The Italian came from behind to sink Adrian Mannarino 4-6 7-5 7-5 in the first round and is beginning to find his range after a three-month lay-off.
Zverev won both of their matches on a hardcourt and it will come down to how well Berrettini’s backhand stands up to scrutiny.
The world number 66 may take a set but over the course it’s highly likely fourth seed, Zverev will be too consistent from the back of the court.
