🔍 Match Breakdown

Zverev’s performance against Muller was arguably his sharpest since the Australian Open. He served well, controlled rallies, and minimized errors — exactly the form he needs to return to deep runs. Playing at home, and with pressure mounting, Zverev looks locked in.

Altmaier is no pushover on clay and has the grinding game to extend points, but his top-10 record has dipped and Zverev’s game historically matches up well against him. If Zverev continues to serve and strike his backhand cleanly, the matchup favors the higher-ranked German.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Zverev to win in straight sets

Expect a competitive first few games, but Zverev’s class and home support should guide him to his first QF here in six years.
