H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Flavio Cobolli Player Overview
🎾 Cobolli has always favored clay over other surfaces and has played numerous matches on it. This season, he reached the final of a clay tournament in Munich, but the title was snatched away by Ben Shelton. In Madrid, Flavio had previously been halted in the third round for two consecutive years, but now he's surpassed his own record by reaching the quarterfinals.
🔔 His journey in Madrid began from the second round, and in 2 out of the 3 matches played here, he had to battle through three sets.

👀 Anticipated Match Scenario
Zverev is eager for revenge after his recent defeat and will aim to break serve right from the start. On his own serve, he'll look to simplify the game to one or two shots. After a grueling match against Medvedev, Cobolli might be quite fatigued and could struggle physically towards the end of the second set. That's where Alexander is expected to seal the deal.
Editor's Prediction
Alexander Zverev's current form is a far cry from what it was two weeks ago in Munich, where his serve was off and his return game lacked intensity. Now, Cobolli is unlikely to take even a set from the German, especially with Zverev motivated for revenge. Considering Alexander's improvement during the clay season, we suggest betting on the German tennis player with a -2.5 handicap.
