Alexander Zverev vs Jakub Mensik Preview

Alexander Zverev reached the semifinals of the French Open with a three-set win over Next Gen star Rafael Jodar. Zverev settled a tight opening set in a tiebreak after 67 minutes. He trailed 2-5 at one point in the first set, but managed to rescue the situation. Shortly after that, Zverev became dominant on serve and was not broken in the second and third sets, which he won 6-1, 6-3.

In the victory, Zverev hit 35 winners and 35 unforced errors. He compiled 7 aces without committing a single double fault. Zverev landed 80% of first serves in play and won 71% of first serve points (51/72). Zverev won 61% of second serve points (11/18) and saved an impressive 5 out of 6 break points on his serve. Zverev improves to 18-4 on clay. He has never won a Grand Slam title in his career, but is an overwhelming favorite to do so this Sunday.

Jakub Mensik beat Brazilian prodigy Joao Fonseca in straight sets to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal. The match took 32 games to decide. Mensik won 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 in two hours and 47 minutes.

Mensik won 33% of second serve points (12/36) and saved three of five break points on serve.

Before this round, Mensik defeated Droguet, Navone, De Minaur, and Rublev. Two of his five matches have lasted five sets. He improves to 8-3 on clay and will contest the biggest match of his career so far on Thursday against Alexander Zverev with a spot in the French Open final on the line.

Alexander Zverev vs Jakub Mensik Prediction

There is no stopping Alexander Zverev at this year’s French Open and I like the German’s chances here. Zverev didn’t commit a single double fault in the quarterfinal win and was dominant on serve throughout. He’s clutched it out when he needs to, and fitness-wise, the second seed is in excellent physical condition to outlast Mensik should this one go the full distance.
