The oddsmakers are very much leaning toward Zverev due to the success he has had in the past. Bouncing back after an injury, he has looked fluid with just a few hiccups here and there and looks more settled coming into the game. The rankings difference between the two is in itself a sign of his superiority in the contest. Even though Varillas has done well in the qualifying, he seems like no match in this tie.
Thus, we expect Alexander Zverev to get the win without much effort.
