On Sunday, there's more action coming our way from the ATP event in Rome, where there's a rather interesting match between Alexander Blockx and Alexander Zverev. This match is primarily interesting because the pair met less than two weeks ago in Madrid. On that occasion, the world number three brushed aside his lower-ranked opponent, so much so that it is a little surprising to see that the German is available around the -125 mark to repeat that trick. Given the early odds, it's worth betting that he does indeed deliver something similar here.
Blockx is very much a young and improving player, and in general, his clay-court form has been pleasing in 2026, but when he came up against the world number three earlier this month, he looked a little out of his depth. Will he have the confidence to seriously push Zverev this time? We doubt it.

Our Alexander Blockx vs Alexander Zverev Prediction
Of course, Alexander Blockx is an up-and-comer, and he may soon be able to tussle with the very best players, but on recent evidence, he has some work to do in that respect. Let's face it, Zverev made light work of defeating Alexander Blockx when the pair met recently in Madrid, winning in straight sets, and there's little to suggest that the Belgian is about to reverse that form, so much so that the German is absolutely worh betting on to once again win without dropping a set, especially at odds of -125.
