Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+7.5) for Nakashima – 1.95.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 31.5 – 1.84.
In the previous two matches, Zverev did not win by more than eight games. He probably won’t be able to do it now either. Nakashima is as good as Ofner, so we expect resistance from him.
In 2020 the tennis players met at the US Open. Zverev defeated Nakashima in four sets. It is possible that something similar will happen now.

Zverev got off to an uncertain start at Roland Garros. Last season, he reached the semifinals here, so he was considered one of the main contenders for the title. In the first round, he proved his status by beating Sebastian Ofner (6-2, 6-4, 6-4).
However, in the next match, Sasha had big problems. His clash against Sebastian Baez was uneasy. Zverev lost the first two sets and it seemed he would quit the tournament. However, the German managed to turn the course of the match and snatch the victory. All in all, Alexander spent more than 3.5 hours on the court.
Zverev won six straight battles as the clear favourite.
He has played 16 games on clay this season and has 12 wins.
