On Thursday, at Wimbledon, the world number three will be in action. For the second time in his professional career, Alexander Zverev, who somewhat strangely has never been beyond the fourth round of this competition, will take on Valentin Royer. On paper, this should be one-way traffic, but will that turn out to be the case?
Looking at the early lines, it's well worth betting on Alexander Zverev to win this by nothing short of an eight-game margin, or rather to win by at least eight games. The German has looked in grest shape on grass-courts in recent weeks, while the way that he beat a much better player than Valentin Royer during the first round suggests that he should be slightly more fancied to win this by a wide margin. Odds of +105 offer value for money.

Our Valentin Royer vs Alexander Zverev Prediction
There should be a very evident gap in quality between these two players once this match gets underway. Sure, Valentin Royer will be feeling confident after his first-round success, but he beat a much lesser opponent, and even dropped a set in doing so. Such an effort does not point towards him making life tough for someone as strong as the world number three.
Alexander Zverev defeated a better player than Royer by a reasonably comfortable margin during the first round, and with that under his belt, he can step on the gas here and pull clear of his opponent.
