Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev Prediction 6/4/25 French Open Tennis Picks

Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev meet in the quarterfinals of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4. Here’s our Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev prediction. This preview will also include a Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev pick.

Novak Djokovic Preview

Novak Djokovic became just the second man to win 100 career matches at the French Open, joining 14-time record champion Rafael Nadal on that distinction (Nadal owns 112 wins). Djokovic beat former British No. 1 Cameron Norrie to attain this milestone for the first time in his Grand Slam career. He won 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Djokovic has not lost a set in the tournament and reached the second week with wins over McDonald, Moutet, and Misolic.

Djokovic has not lost a match at Roland Garros since 2022, against Nadal in an incredible quarterfinal match. He won the 2023 event for his 23rd Grand Slam title and third French Open title. Last year, he retired before his quarterfinal match to undergo emergency knee surgery. Djokovic would return to the same venue to clinch a historic gold medal at the Paris Olympics just two months later. Djokovic is currently on his best winning streak this season of eight wins. He captured his 100th career title in Geneva before the French Open.

Alexander Zverev Preview

Alexander Zverev lost his No. 2 ranking before the tournament and was the No. 3 seed. But he hasn’t lost sight of his ultimate goal as he continues to pursue his first Grand Slam title. He’s come close three times, losing at the US Open, last year’s French Open to Alcaraz, and more recently at this year’s Australian Open.

Zverev entered the French Open with a clay-court title to his name, which he won on home soil in Munich. He’s benefited from a very good draw in Paris, with his most challenging match coming in the third round against rising Italian Flavio Cobolli. However, Zverev breezed past Cobolli in straight sets. In the fourth round, he earned a retirement win over Tallon Griekspoor. Zverev has lost one set in the tournament,t and that was in his second-round match against Jesper De Jong. Zverev has won 18 of 24 clay-court matches in 2025.

Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev Head-To-Head

Djokovic and Zverev have met 13 times. Djokovic leads 8-5. They have played twice on clay and the head-to-head is tied at 1-1, although they last met on the surface in 2019.

Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev Prediction

Djokovic was forced to retire from a thrilling semifinal against Zverev at this year’s Australian Open. He sensed his chance of adding to his Grand Slam collection but suffered from a muscle tear and couldn’t continue after a remarkable first set. But he’s peaking when it matters, and that’s in Slams and Masters tournaments. His experience and clutch play have no competition from the field, and I think we’ve learned a painful lesson of not betting against Djokovic when the lights are brightest. Give me the man with 24 Slams and 100 wins at the French Open.
