Alexander Zverev vs Learner Tien preview
Third seed Alexander Zverev will face off against unseeded Learner Tien in the first round (Round of 128) of the 2025 French Open on Tuesday, May 27.
Trending
Zverev started the 2025 season strong by reaching the Australian Open final, where he lost to Jannik Sinner. But after that, he struggled to maintain consistency, which was surprising for a player of his talent.
Since Melbourne, the German had two quarterfinal finishes in Argentina and Rio. He bounced back by winning the BMW Open against Ben Shelton. After that, he reached the quarterfinals of the Italian Open but lost in the Round of 16 in Hamburg, which shook his confidence a little before heading to Paris.
Meanwhile, Tien showed promise with a strong run in Melbourne and reached the quarterfinals at the Mexican Open. However, after that, he mostly faced early losses in other events. Now, he’ll hope to turn things around at Roland Garros.
Alexander Zverev vs Learner Tien head-to-head
Zverev and Tien have faced each other just once on the ATP Tour, earlier this year in Acapulco. Surprisingly, the American pulled off the upset by beating the more experienced German, giving him a 1-0 lead in their head-to-head record.

Alexander Zverev vs Learner Tien prediction
Alexander Zverev comes into this match with plenty of experience on clay, but his 2025 season has been very inconsistent. He’s struggled to maintain a high level, with some early losses and matches where his usual power and movement have been missing.
Learner Tien, on the other hand, plays with confidence and aggression. The young American has been improving steadily with each match and isn’t afraid to take risks on big points.
If Tien keeps up the pressure and plays his best tennis, he can take advantage of Zverev’s patchy form and earn a big win. The World No. 3 will need to find his rhythm and stay focused, but his opponent has every chance to come through here.
Pick: Learner Tien to win in five sets
