We have reached the semifinals of the 2021 ATP French Open at Roland Garros in Paris, France. At this stage of the tournament, Alexander Zverev is set to play against Stefanos Tsitsiaps from Greece.
Stefanos Tsitsipas enters this match having defeated Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in the previous round of the tournament. It was a close match but Tsitsipas won vital points throughout the match which allowed him to win the overall contest. During the win, Stefanos Tsitsipas won 88% of his service games and 4 return games. Stefanos Tsitsipas is an elite player and he has played well in this tournament but he must produce his best tennis in this match if he wishes to defeat Alexander Zverev.
Looking at Alexander Zverev, the German superstar has looked in supreme form as he has won his last 4 games all in straight sets. During the previous round, Alexander Zverev only lost 6 games in the entire match. It has been a strong few weeks for Alexander Zverev as he recently won the Madrid Masters where he defeated both Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem. Alexander Zverev is looking very strong as he enters this match and considering his recent form on clay, the German superstar will like his chances of winning this tournament.
Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas have played each other 7 times in the past with Tsitsipas winning on 5 occasions and Zverev winning twice. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season in Mexico where Zverev won in straight sets. The last head-to-head match that Stefanos Tsitsipas won was in 2020 at the ATP Cup in Australia.
Looking at all the information, I am going to pick Alexander Zverev to win this match. This should be a close match between two elite players but Zverev looks in better touch and is a better player on clay. I see Alexander Zverev winning this match in 4 sets.
