Hello.
Quarterfinal in Hamburg. Zverev against Zhang. We're going with the German on clay. Zverev is having a great season, especially on clay. With an 18-4 record on clay, he won the Rome tournament and reached the final of the French Open, where he only lost after a 5-set battle against Alcaraz. Hamburg was easily won against De Jong and in the last match there was some relaxation against Gaston, where he needed 3 sets.
Zhang also looks good on clay. In the last few years, his results have improved. This year he has a 9-5 record on clay, which is not bad either. Hamburg looks decent so far, but both matches needed a tie break. However, in both matches the second set was won quite easily. An interesting coincidence - this year, Zhang has lost all his matches on clay. He is a fighter, but Zverev is at a different level in my opinion.
In addition, Zverev is a more talented and higher level player overall. In Hamburg, he is defending his champion title from last year. This means he is defending a lot of points and should not lack motivation. At first, I thought I would take Zhang with a plus in games here, but I have a feeling that it will be similar to De Jong. After a little cold shower in the last match, I think the German will take it and win easily.
Good luck.
