Form & Outlook
Davidovich Fokina is having a solid season with a 20–10 record. He’s dangerous on clay, with a scrappy style that thrives in long rallies. However, he’s struggled to consistently beat top players deep in tournaments.
Zverev, on the other hand, is in excellent form. The German has been strong across all surfaces in 2025, winning one title already. His powerful serve and heavy baseline game suit Madrid’s altitude perfectly, making him a tough opponent for anyone.
Surface & Style Matchup
Madrid’s faster clay favors big servers and aggressive players — a perfect match for Zverev’s game. Davidovich Fokina will rely on his footwork, drop shots, and creativity, but sustaining long battles against Zverev’s consistency and firepower will be a huge challenge.
Alexander Zverev vs Alejandro Davidovich Prediction
Davidovich Fokina will likely test Zverev early with his movement and variation, but Zverev’s bigger weapons should wear him down over time. Expect a competitive match, but Zverev’s power and experience should pull him through.
Prediction: Alexander Zverev in 3 sets.
