Alexander Zverev vs. Diego Schwartzman 11/18/20 - ATP World Tour Finals Men Singles Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 11/17/2020 at 7:48 AM ET
Alexander Zverev will face Diego Schwartzman in the next round of the 2020 ATP Finals in London.
Alexander Zverev has a good record at the ATP Finals as he won the title 2 years ago. This time around, Zverev enters this tournament in good form having made the final of the Paris Masters prior to arriving in London. Zverev also made the final of the US Open and won both tournaments that were played in Cologne. That being said, Alexander Zverev lost his previous match as he was beaten in straight sets by Daniil Medvedev meaning the German must win this match if he wishes to keep his tournament alive. Considering his recent form, Alexander Zverev will be confident in his ability to bounce back strongly in this match.
On the other side of the coin, Diego Schwarzman also lost his previous match as he was beaten in straight sets by Novak Djokovic. It was a comprehensive defeat for Schwartzman as the Argentine superstar lost 4 service games and only managed to win 1 return game. Outside of the clay courts, Diego Schwartzman has struggled to compete with the elite players and it is going to be tough for the Argentine to gain enough momentum to challenge Alexander Zverev in this match.
Alexander Zverev and Diego Schwartzman have played each other 4 times in the past with both players winning on 2 occasions. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at Cologne where Alexander Zverev won in straight sets. Schwartzman last defeated Zverev in 2019 at the US Open.
Taking all the information into consideration, I am going to pick Alexander Zverev to win this match. Zverev is the stronger player and the German seems to be in better form heading into this match. I see Zverev being good enough to win this match in straight sets.
