Oh, it's Alexander Zverev vs Learner Tien, folks. Quick disclaimer: I'm not a fortune teller, just a sports commentator who can't resist making predictions.
Zverev, our beloved numero uno, hasn't been spreading much love on the court lately, with a couple of losses tucked in between his victories. He's won and he's lost and won again - it's more of a roller coaster than your aunty's diet plan.
Then we have Learner Tien, our unseeded contender who has clearly been immersed in a winning streak smoothie, pulling off win after win and only dropping a set in his last five outings.
Considering how these boys have been dancing around lately and Zverev's sporadic performance, it wouldn't be a shocker if Tien takes a set. Although, let's not overlook that Zverev has time and again proven that he can turn things round like a pair of socks after a long day.
So, if someone put a marshmallow on a stick and made me pick over a campfire, I’d say Zverev will take this but perhaps not without a hiccup along the way. All rise for my prediction.
Albert’s Prediction: Zverev in 3 sets.
