Command Analysis
Current form
Zverev defeated Casper Ruud (7-6, 6-3) in the second round of the group stage of the final tournament. Alexander hit 11 aces, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Norwegian. For the German, this was the tenth victory in 12 indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Zverev is a confident player on the back line, holding up rallies of any length, with his two-handed backhand being particularly reliable and considered one of the best on tour. It is also worth noting his powerful and effective serve, which in the conditions of the hall becomes a serious advantage, leaving opponents with almost no chances on the return.
Current indicators in the tour
Zverev is currently ranked second in the world. The German has two Masters victories this season. First, he won on clay in Rome, and just recently Alexander won on indoor hard in Paris.
Interesting facts for betting
Zverev has just one loss in his last ten matches.
Current form
Alcaraz beat Andrey Rublev (6-3, 7-6) in the second round of the group stage of the final tournament. In the match against the Russian, Carlos served ten aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Spaniard, this was the seventh victory this season indoors with three defeats.
Professional qualities
Alcaraz has a diverse arsenal of techniques and has adapted well to grass courts, where he uses his net-breaks, drop shots and slices to great effect, which has earned him back-to-back Wimbledon titles. However, he has not yet fully adapted to indoor conditions, as he lacks consistency on his serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Alcaraz has won Roland Garros and Wimbledon this season. He also won Beijing and Indian Wells. The Spaniard is currently third in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
