On September 8, at 20-30 Moscow time, Zverev will fight Harris in the 1/4 final of the US Open. Will Lloyd be able to create problems for Alexander? Bookmakers do not doubt the easy victory of the German.
Alexander Zverev
Zverev is the 4th racket of the world. This season, he has already won 4 tournaments, including the Olympics and the "Masters" in Cincinnati 2.5 weeks ago. At the US Open, he started with very easy victories over Querrey and Ramos, not allowing them to get even to a break point, and in the 3rd round he won a strong-willed victory over Juice (3-6, 6-2, 6-3, 2-1, refusal of the American), missing one game on his serve. The most difficult thing was in the 4th round against Sinner: 6-4, 6-4, 7-6. In the 3rd set, Sasha led 4-2, then relaxed, but still won the game, having played 5 sets.
Lloyd George Harris
Harris is the 46th racket of the world. This season, for the first time in his career, he reached the final of the ATP-500 tournament (in Dubai), and we can also note the victory over Nadal at the tournament in Washington. Now Lloyd has achieved a high result at the TBSH, although he could have already flown out in the first round, because he lost to Khachanov 1-2 in sets: 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. After that, Lloyd beat Escobedo (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) and Shapovalov (6-4, 6-4, 6-4) in three games, and then won another strong-willed, but very confident victory over Opelka: 6-7, 6-1, 6-3.
Personal meeting statistics
Account in personal meetings: 2-0 in favor of Zverev. Three weeks ago, at the Masters in Cincinnati (2nd round), Alexander beat the South African with a score of 7-6, 6-2. Then Lloyd didn't have a single chance to make a break.
Interesting facts:
- The final last season was Zverev's best result at the US Open.
- 1/4 finals at the US Open-2021 – the best result of Harris at the TBSH.
- Alexander's winning streak is already 15 matches.
Forecast from LiveResult.ru
Harris is currently playing very high-level tennis, and he is quite capable of beating TOP-level players, but this will not happen in the next match, because Zverev is on the rise now, he has won two tournaments in a row and looks very confident. The German plays almost perfectly in the games on his serve, and Lloyd can not count on more than one break. On the other hand, Harris also has a very strong and dangerous first serve, so the games should be tight.
