Alexander Zverev vs Alexandre Muller prediction
Alexander Zverev has been yearning to win a Major title on tour. The German reached the finals of the French Open last year, but Carlos Alcaraz denied him the win. He will be hoping to set the tone in Hamburg this week and enter Paris in upbeat form.
Muller, on the contrary, has had a positive season on clay. He was one win away from claiming the title in Rio, which showcases his potential on clay. The Frenchman has a great chance to cause an upset in the second round against Zverev.
Considering their record on clay and results this year, Zverev will be a clear favorite to win. The German will be desperate to build momentum ahead of the French Open and make a deep run in Hamburg. He should be able to solve the riddle against Muller in the second round.
Pick: Zverev to win in straight sets.
