Preview of Alexander Zverev against Jannik Sinner
Top seed Alexander Zverev will be in the second semifinals in Cologne in as many weeks. The home favorite will play against Jannik Sinner, a teenager in the final of the 2020 bett1Hulks championship on Saturday.
Zverev played two threes in a row at the Cologne 2 event after losing just one set during his entire title run in the German city last week. The Frenchman Adrian Mannarino pushed Zverev to the limit before he ran out in the end.
The 23-year-old has not been at his best in this tournament, which may be due to the number of games he has played recently. Zverev’s serve in particular seems a little unreliable, as evidenced by the 19 double mistakes he made in two games.
His next opponent, 19-year-old Jannik Sinner, will be more than happy to take advantage of such problems on Saturday.
Playing in his first tournament since the French Open, the Italian has shown no signs of slowing down despite recently recovering from a stomach problem. Sinner won his first two games in Cologne with ease, defeating both James Duckworth and Pierre-Hugues Herbert in straight sets.
In the quarter-finals, Sinner and Gilles Simon faced his toughest test to date. After the Frenchman lost the first sentence, he immediately turned things around by serving a bagel in the second. Simon then broke early in the decision to take a 2-0 lead.
However, Sinner chose this moment to show exactly why it was rated so highly by the experts. Despite the adverse circumstances, the 19-year-old showed a remarkable composure and broke Simon twice in the third set to finally secure his place in the semifinals.
Alexander Zverev against Jannik Sinner head to head
Jannik Sinner leads Alexander Zverev 1-0 in a duel.
The duo met at the recently concluded French Open, where the Italian triumphed in four sets to claim the biggest slam win of his career.
Alexander Zverev versus Jannik Sinner prediction
Neither player has been completely solid in their service games lately. While Alexander Zverev served a horde of double errors, Jannik Sinner was confronted with an unusual number of breakpoints. However, the Italian has managed to save 16 of the 21 goals he has conceded so far.
The player who returns better is likely to control the game on Saturday. And Sinner, for his part, can stifle the powerful German with his powerful basic blows. It will be up to Zverev to find a way to push the Italian back with his own shot weight.
The number 7 in the world is on a six-game winning streak but looks more and more tired with every win. If Sinner can play at a reasonably high level throughout the game, he should be able to repeat the French Open result.
Forecast: Jannik Sinner wins in three sets.
