Alexander Zverev vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Canadian Open 2025

Alexander Zverev has never beaten Francisco Cerundolo, with the Argentine holding a hat-trick of wins over the German.

Alexander Zverev staged a fine comeback against 32nd seed Matteo Arnaldi, dropping the opening set but winning the next two convincingly. As a previous champion back in 2017, the top seed will certainly fancy his chances to go all the way this year.

However, his performance in Toronto hasn’t been convincing, with both matches exposing his weaknesses — especially in the second round against Adam Walton.

Match details

Tournament: Canadian Open 2025
Round: Fourth Round
Date: August 3
Venue: Sobeys Stadium, Toronto, Canada
Surface: Hard

Preview

Francisco Cerundolo overcame Jaume Munar and Tomas Etcheverry to seal his spot in the round of 16. Seeded 14th, the Argentine has had a decent year so far. He reached the final at his home tournament in Argentina and made it through to his second Golden Swing semi-final.

The 26-year-old reached consecutive ATP Masters quarter-finals at Indian Wells and Miami, and later qualified for the Madrid Open semi-finals. In addition to his excellent showings at Masters events this season, he has a staggering 3-0 record against Zverev.

Two of those wins came in 2025, at the Madrid Open fourth round and Buenos Aires quarter-finals. This was in addition to his straight-sets victory over Zverev last year at the Madrid Open. Set to meet once again in a fourth-round clash, Zverev will be tasked with battling familiar demons, having lost at the same stage twice to Cerundolo in the past.
