Naming a favorite is actually impossible.
“I would see the match as 50:50.
In the end, the form of the day will decide ”, Boris Becker is certain.
However, Zverev always has to be confronted with a statistic: He has never beaten a top 10 player in a Grand Slam tournament *.
However, in contrast to the Greek, he was already in a final - last autumn in the triumph of Dominic Thiem.
“I'm not interested in that kind of thing,” says the German in no uncertain terms.
“I'm here to play for the tournament victory.” His record against Tsitsipas is negative, however: he was only able to win two out of seven matches.
Including the last meeting this year in the final of Acapulco.
