Ah, the delicious tension of yet another Wimbledon matchup between the sizzling, tournament seeded, Alexander Zverev and the sadly unseeded, but ever eager to surprise, Cameron Norrie.
Let's peruse past performances, shall we? It appears darling Zverev has held the advantage over our charismatic underdog - a fact that's no surprise, considering Norrie's shaky performance lately. The man seems to volley between triumph and tragedy more often than a piece of toast in a breakfast diner. However, let's not completely discount our unseeded friend Cameron. He's whipped up some impressive full set victories recently.
Zverev, on the other hand, rides in on a near immaculate horse of triumph, hiccupping only once in his journey to this matchup. His recent performance is so tight and neat, and it makes you wonder if there's any room for surprise. Is it too much to ask for a little drama? A bit of unpredictability? I guess when you're as good as he is, consistency is your ticket to success.
In any case, Norrie may be up for the challenge. After all, sometimes the underdog bites back, and we can only hope he makes it interesting for us. However, the prediction, dear listeners, is not about what could happen, but what likely will.
Drum roll, please. For this round of 32 Wimbledon match, I am going to have to side with the man who has shown time and time again, that he can out-swang, out-serve, and out-class his opponents.
Albert’s Prediction: Zverev in straight sets.
