Alexander Zverev vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction
Zverev will enter the match as the favorite to win given his recent performances. However, Cerundolo is capable of producing some incredible tennis on clay at his best and can give the German a run for his money.
Zverev won 36 out of 45 points on his first serve in his match against Lajovic, serving six aces. However, the World No. 2 also served four double-faults and will be looking not to produce too many of those against Cerundolo. Zverev is among the best clay-court players in the world and will look to make the most of his baseline game.
Cerundolo's first-serve numbers so far at the Argentina Open has not been particularly impressive as he was won 58 out of 84 points so far (69%). The World No. 28 has decent defensive skills but has an attacking style and plays some of his best tennis on clay.
While Cerundolo has previously beaten the German on the surface, Zverev should manage to come out on top if he is on song and reach the semifinals of the Argentina Open.
Pick: Zverev to win in three sets.
