Editor's Prediction
Alexander's powerful serve is his main weapon against Alcaraz. Sure, the Spaniard is strong on returns, but Zverev's shots in this tournament have been like guided missiles. Bookmakers doubt the German can challenge his opponent, but we see it differently and expect the same confidence from Alexander as in his previous matches. Our bet is Zverev handicap (+6.5).
