Alexander Zverev vs Lorenzo Musetti Preview

Alexander Zverev remains in pursuit of his second gold medal at the Olympics and was good value for his win over Alexei Popyrin in the third round. The German won 7-5, 6-3 in an hour and 30 minutes. Zverev recovered from an early break in the first set and saved a set point at 4-5 down before winning it.

Just one break of serve was all he needed in the second set to wrap up a straight-sets victory. He hammered eight aces in the match and just one double fault. Zverev landed 63% of first serves. He won 84% first-serve points (27/32) and 74% second-serve points (14/19).

Lorenzo Musetti knocked out USA's Taylor Fritz in a match that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Musetti tallied four aces to one double fault. He landed 67% of first serves. He won 79% of first-serve points (31/39) and won 53% of second-serve points (10/19).

Musetti converted three of four break points, and one dropped his serve once in the match. Overall, he compiled 15 winners to 12 unforced errors.

Alexander Zverev vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction

It is going to get significantly harder from this stage for Musetti to get a positive result. This will be his eighth match in a row in the last nine days. And he's not had sufficient rest time after competing in the Umag final last weekend. The good thing is that he didn't need to play a physical match against Taylor Fritz in the last round and probably won't need to against Zverev. But the German has been nearly impregnable on serve all week without playing at an exceptional level. So, we can expect the third seed to raise his level in his first acid test of the Olympics.
