LiontipsFelix Auger Aliassime vs Alexander Zverev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Madrid (May 6, 2022).
Command Analysis
Felix Auger Aliassime has played two excellent matches at the current tournament. The Canadian athlete crushed Christian Garin (6:3, 6:0) in his opener, and then confidently beat Jannik Sinner (6:1, 6:2).
In general, however, Auger Aliassime doesn't do very well on clay courts. For instance, during this tour he has lost on clay to Alex Molchan, Lorenzo Musetti, and Diego Schwartzman.
Alexander Zverevhas been disappointing on clay this year. The German tennis player lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semifinal of the Monte Carlo Masters (2:6, 4:6). After that, he got crushed by Holger Rune at the tournament in Munich (3:6, 2:6).
Zverev is yet to impress in Madrid. In the opening round, the German overcame Marin Cilic in three difficult sets (4:6, 6:4, 6:4). He reached the quarterfinals by walking over Lorenzo Musetti.
Tip and bets
Zverev won the Madrid Open in 2021 and is hoping to defend his title. However, given his form, it will be quite difficult. Auger Aliassime plays well against Zverev, in the last three matches the opponents split sets. We expect this to be a close battle.
Our prediction - total over 22 games
This year, Auger-Aliassime defeated Zverev in the ATP Cup. Before that, the Canadian athlete lost to Zverev twice in very close matches. Most likely, this will be a very difficult day for the German.
