Paul vs Zverev Prediction 21 January 2025

Will Tommy Paul beat Alexander Zverev for the third time in a row? Sportbooks are firmly convinced that a rematch will occur in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. We, on the other hand, do not rush to judgments in our prediction, as both tennis players have adapted extremely well to the conditions.

Tommy Paul

Paul already had an impressive performance in Melbourne a couple of years ago (top-4). However, at that time, he was outplayed by Novak Djokovic. Now, Tommy has significantly improved in all aspects, which is convincingly proven by his results in 2024 (three major singles titles and an Olympic bronze medal in doubles). Today, the American demolished Alejandro Davidovich in 80 minutes, making only 12 unforced errors. For the first time in his career, he has entered the top ten of the world rankings, which has definitely had a positive impact on his emotional state.

Alexander Zverev

For Zverev, triumphing at a major is a priority goal, as he has already conquered tournaments in other categories. Specifically, last season Alexander achieved maximum results at two Masters (Rome and Paris), and also came a step away from the trophy at Roland Garros (top-2). Previously, the German player disastrously lacked endurance over the long term, but now he has become very disciplined despite all obstacles. On these courts, the athlete won three out of four matches without dropping a set, focusing on a solid serve (52 aces, 4 breaks, and less than a quarter of points lost on his first serve).

Editorial Prediction

In this match, there is a high probability that it will not be without some intrigue. The opponents are not particularly comfortable for each other stylistically, and we believe that they will delight fans with another competitive thriller with an unexpected ending. A bet on over total is a reliable option for the match.
