Prediction published on 14/11/2026, 11:35  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 14/11/2026 at 12:34 in Tennis Predictions

Alexander Zverev is the top seed in the indoor hard court ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. His first match in the John McEnroe group will see him face eighth-seeded Rafael Jodar. Three of Zverev's last four wins have been achieved without losing a set. Jodar has lost two of his last three matches and our prediction is Zverev wins in straight sets.

Also in this group are Ben Shelton and Arthur Fils with the top two going into the semi-finals.

Zverev is top of the world rankings and will be in that position at the end of this year. He has won 65 matches this year, but only won two tournaments, both being Grand Slam titles. He's reached eight semi-finals and the final of two other tournaments. Six of his nine indoor hard court matches played this year have been won.

He leads Jodar 1-0 in previous meetings, but that was played on clay this year at Roland Garros.

Rafael Jodar's only title won this year came on clay in Marrakech. He's played four indoor hard court tournaments this year, but has failed to make it past round two in any of them with five wins and three losses. His most recent tournament on this surface was in the Paris Masters where he lost to Casper Ruud in round two.
