There's a very interesting match taking place at the ATP event in Cincinnati on Wednesday, when Alexander Zverev and Tommy Paul meet for the fourth time as professionals. The German, who is ranked above his opponent, will be searching for just a second win against the American.
Given that he's the current world number three, and given that he delivered his best hard-court effort since the end of the grass-court season last time out, Alexander Zverev does deserve to be the favorite here. However. he hasn't quite done enough to warrant such strong favoritism. Tommy Paul can compete with top players, his record against the German shows that, and since he's never lost to Zverev in straight sets, he's worth betting on to, at the very least, win one set when the pair clash on Wednesday.

Our Alexander Zverev vs Tommy Paul Prediction
Alexander Zverev did win when these two players last met, but he failed to do so in straight sets, while winning in straight sets is something he's never managed to do against Tommy Paul, who has won two of the previous three renewals of this match. Such a fact points towards the American outperforming his odds here.
Moreover, Zverev has twice recently either dropped a set or lost to a lower-ranked player on this surface, making 'Tommy Paul +1.5 Set Handicap' look quite leniently priced at -125.
