In this impending Stuttgart face-off, folks, we've got the top-seeded Alexander Zverev flinging his racket against the unseeded Corentin Moutet. Quite an unmatched pairing if I dare say so myself. Moutet, the "Wild Horse" of France has been a bit of a seesaw lately, he manages to trounce Fognini only to be trounced himself by Djokovic.
Then we have Zverev, a German powertrain who doesn't seem to know when to quit. His recent performance, however, has been a tickle to watch. Sure, he had a little stumble with Djokovic but then again, who doesn't? Moving past that hiccup, he has steam-ironed Griekspoor, Cobolli, De Jong and Tien, not sparing any love for anyone.
But let's not forget, the Stuttgart Open is Zverev's home court. He eats the Centre Court for breakfast! On the contrary, Moutet might be just a tad bit outmatched here, like a poodle in a pitbull fight.
With these thoughts in mind, Albert, your slightly obnoxious, dry-humored commentator, puts forth the prediction.
Albert’s Prediction: Zverev in straight sets.
