Our Joao Fonseca vs Alexander Zverev Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Joan Fonseca upsets Alexander Zverev 6-4, 4-6, 7-6
Best Pick: Over 23.5 Games
This match has all the ingredients to be an instant classic. Both Fonseca and Zverev are serving really well in this tournament. Fonseca has saved all 12 breakpoints, while Zverev has saved 7 of 11 breakpoints. I will not blame you if you go all in on the Brazilian by picking him at +130 moneyline. However, as his 70 percent win rate on clay suggests, Zverev is a very crafty player on red clay, and he is certainly equipped with the tools and experience to hack out wins in a hotly contested match.
There's no clear-cut favorite here, though one thing is clear: it will need more than 23 games to determine the winner of this duel.
