Alexander Zverev vs Holger Rune Prediction
Rune is a more than respectable opponent in the underdog role and will have some confidence knowing he’s already beat Zverev. Rune is also comfortable on clay and has been a contender in the French Open the last couple of years. The problem is, Rune hasn’t played his best tennis over the last couple of months, and it’s asking a lot for him to flip the switch against one of the best in the world right now. Zverev is as hot as anybody on the men’s side, and it’s going to take a lot to cool him down.
This has a chance to be a long, competitive match, but I’ll take Zverev in 4 sets.
