H2H: Alexander Zverev vs. Fernando Verdasco - Prediction (ATP Paris

Zverev vs. Verdasco – Preview and players comparison.

Fernando Verdasco (Spain) edges the H2H series 2-1 with the last meeting coming in the first round of French Open 2017. The Spaniard has got the quality to hurt any player at this level, but being a lot more solid and consistent gives Alexander Zverev (Germany) the upper hand in this battle.

Alexander Zverev is seeded #6 as he makes his third consecutive appearance in Paris Masters this week. He failed in the second round of this tournament during his debut campaign in 2017 but improved on it and reached the quarterfinal in 2018 — defeated Frances Tiafoe and Diego Schwartzman. After winning the title-deciding clash in the Laver Cup, the German played with confidence and posted two solid results in Beijing (SF) and Shanghai Masters (F) but suffered a disappointing straight-set defeat against Taylor Fritz in the first round of ATP Basel last week, despite leading the first-set tiebreaker 4-0. World #6 Alexander Zverev cannot afford another early exit as he is still in the race to qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Zverev won the biggest title of his career in London last year but is currently sitting at #7 in the race.

Fernando Verdasco made the most of Borna Coric’s recent fitness struggles to deliver a three-set comeback win in the first round of Paris Masters on Monday, 3-6 6-4 6-3. The veteran Spaniard failed against Malek Jaziri in the second round of Paris Masters in 2018 and would be hoping for a different outcome this time around. Former world #7 Fernando Verdasco, who has been struggling for consistency all season, hasn’t registered back-to-back wins since progressing to the round of 16 in Wimbledon in July.
