Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Olympic Games match.
Alexander Zverev
Before going to the Olympics, Zverev took part in a home tournament in Hamburg. He managed to win four matches in a row and reach the final. This made his winning streak on clay courts reach 20 matches. In Paris, Alexander started with a strong win against Jaume Munar (6-2, 6-2), allowing only one break point in the whole match.
Tomas Macháč
Compared to this, Tomas Macháč's results on clay are not as good. The Czech player lost in the first round at the Umag tournament, losing to world number 77 Thiago Monteiro (6-3, 3-6, 4-6). The Olympic start in Paris is the sixth clay tournament in this season for Machc, but he only won two matches in a row in two of them.
Prediction
In matches against top 10 players, Macháč has lost 9 out of 11 times. Zverev, who is having his best clay court season ever, should win this match easily.
