German tennis superstar Alexander Zverev has made it into the semifinals of the 2020 US Open in New York. At this stage of the tournament, Alexander Zverev will face Pablo Carreño Busta from Spain.
The big news of this tournament involved Pablo Carreño Busta as the Spaniard was involved in the match where Novak Djokovic was disqualified. Pablo Carreño Busta enters this match having beaten Denis Shapovalov in 5 sets in the previous round. It was a very impressive performance by Busta as he showed great determination to win vital points throughout the contest. Pablo Carreño Busta was very strong late in the match as he only lost 3 games in the final 2 sets. This is expected to be a tougher match for Pablo Carreño Busta as he is playing against the number 5 seed.
On the other side of the coin, Alexander Zverev enters this match having defeated Borna Coric in 4 sets in the previous round. Zverev lost the opening set but fought back strongly to win this final 2 sets and the match. During the win, Zverev impressed with his serving as he won 80% of his service games. It has been a strong tournament for Alexander Zverev and the German will hope to continue his momentum in this match also.
Pablo Carreño Busta and Alexander Zverev have played each other once in the past. The match was played in 2018 at the Miami Masters where Alexander Zverev won the match in straight sets. It was a comfortable win for Alexander Zverev as he dominated the entire match.
Looking at all the information, I am going to pick Alexander Zverev to win this match. Zverev is playing at his best and the German is a much stronger player than Busta. There is a big gap in skill between the players so I am going to pick Alexander Zverev to win this match in straight sets.
