German tennis superstar Alexander Zverev has made it into the quarterfinals of the 2021 Munich Open in Germany. At this stage of the tournament, Alexander Zverev is set to play against Ilya Ivashka from Belarus.
Ilya Ivashka enters this match having won his previous match in straight sets. Ilya Ivashka lost the opening set but he fought back strongly to win the final 2 sets and the match. During the win, Ivashka impressed with his serving as he hit 8 aces which helped him win over 70% of his service points and all of his service games. The receiving was also strong from Ilya Ivashka as he won 4 return games. That being said, this is expected to be a much tougher match for Ilya Ivashka as he is playing against the top seed in Alexander Zverev.
On the other side of the coin, Alexander Zverev enters this match having won his previous match in straight sets. It was a simple win for Zverev as he ended up winning with some ease. During the win, Alexander Zverev impressed with his receiving as he won over 50% of his service points which allowed him to win 5 return games. It has been an inconsistent few weeks for Alexander Zverev as he won the Mexican Open but has since failed at both the Monte Carlo Masters and Miami Open. Zverev is an incredible player and he will see this as a great opportunity to win a tournament, especially since he is playing on home soil.
This will be the first time that Alexander Zverev and Ilya Ivashka will be playing each other at an ATP tournament.
Taking everything into consideration, I am going to pick Alexander Zverev to win this match. Zverev is the stronger player and I see there is a huge difference in skill level between the two players. I am predicting that Alexander Zverev will win this match in straight sets.
