THE PREDICTION
This looks like the crucial clash of the United Cup final between world number nine Hubert Hurkacz and number seven Alexander Zverev, with Zverev more than likely requiring a win to level things 1-1. Iga Swiatek has looked practically impenetrable in singles this week to heavily suggest Hurkacz can seal the final 2-0 with victory here but the Pole trails Zverev 0-2 in their head-to-head with this third encounter likely to be their closest yet. Both 26 years old, there are plenty of similarities between the two big-servers on court but their differences should prove vital in this final – with Hurkacz much better at the net and Zverev calmer in the key moments. The German will be eager to make amends for letting his lead slip against Alex de Minaur on Saturday but momentum will certainly be with the German side after he partnered well with Laura Siegemund to edge out top Aussie pair Storm Hunter and Matthew Ebden against the Sydney crowd’s wishes.
Needing the win has been a serious factor in results this week, particularly in the latter stages, to suggest the sensible way to avoid a result here is backing Zverev to earn at least a set. The world number seven has done so in all eight of his matches this week, singles and doubles, including in defeats.
TIP: ALEXANDER ZVEREV TO WIN A SET
