Alexander Zverev vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry prediction
Zverev, the world No. 4, has battled on the hardcourts on 33 occasions in the current season thus far and averages 66.67 percent in terms of win-loss (25-8). Etcheverry, on the other hand, has spent significantly less time on the surface with a win-loss record of 6-7 (50.67 percent).
Moreover, the German has been the better athlete in 2024 with a title win at the Italian Open and runner-up finishes at the French Open and the Hamburg European Open, while also making it to the semifinals at the Australian Open and the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Etcheverry bowed out of the Australian Open and French Open in the third round and could reach only the second round at SW19. Therefore, Zverev is likely to prevail in the third round of the 2024 US Open.
Pick: Alexander Zverev to win in straight sets.
