Third seed Alexander Zverev faces in-form Alejandro Tabilo in the semifinal of the 2024 Italian Open in Rome. The match is scheduled for Friday, May 17, 2024. Here's our Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo prediction.

Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo Preview

Alexander Zvrev is the highest-ranked player remaining at the 2024 Italian Open. The German needs two more wins to bag his first title of the season. And with the way he is playing, it would take a brave man to bet against it not happening. Zverev produced another superb performance under the lights in Rome, winning 6-4, 6-3 against the dangerous American Taylor Fritz. He hammered 20 winners, including six aces, and did not face a single break point in the match.

Alejandro Tabilo has emerged as the fortnight's surprise package. The Chilean arrived in Rome hot on the heels of a title success at the Aix en Provence Challenger in France. Tabillo has since stretched that winning streak to eight matches, scoring unexpected wins over World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and World No. 18 Karen Khachanov. He became the first Chilean to reach the Rome semifinals since 2009 following his straight-sets win over China's Zhizhen Zhang in the quarterfinal. This is officially his career-best season on tour, and he has secured a seeding spot for Roland Garros.

Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo Head-To-Head And Facts

• Zverev and Tabilo have never met each other at any level before this.

• World No. 5 Zverev will contest his fourth semifinal in Rome. He has progressed to the final on two occasions.

• Tabilo is playing in his first Masters 1000 semifinal.

• Zverev is 8-3 on clay in 2024, while Tabilo is 15-6 on the same surface this year.

Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Tabilo Prediction

Zverev is the overwhelming favorite to win the tournament from here, but he can't make a mistake to take his eyes off the ball, nor can he underestimate Tabilo, who has been red-hot for a few weeks now, and his confidence is through the roof. Still, the German will prove too steep of a challenger if he continues to clean up his return games as he did so majestically in beating Taylor Fritz.
