Match prediction

Alexander Zverev enters this match with a lot of momentum as the German just dropped his sixth straight win after beating Andrey Rublev in his first ATP Finals match. His 67th win this year, it puts Zverev one ahead of Jannik Sinner, who had tied him. Zverev has lost only one set since his defeat to Lorenzo Musetti in Vienna showing he’s in top form.

Casper Ruud, on the flip side just scored a big win against world no #3 Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. This win broke his five-match losing run against the Spanish star. Ruud played a great game winning five games in a row in the first set and bouncing back from a 2-5 gap in the second.

Even though Ruud beat Alcaraz, Zverev stands as the likely winner here. His strong groundstrokes and steady serve make him hard to beat. Ruud will be fired up after his big win, but Zverev’s steady play and current form give him the upper hand.

Result: Zverev to win in three sets
