Alexander Zverev aims to clinch the 2024 US Open title, but he must first face Taylor Fritz, who has the home crowd’s support.
Zverev has reached the US Open final once before and is eager to do it again. Currently in the quarter-finals, he needs a win against Fritz to advance further.
Playing against an American like Fritz won’t be easy because of the crowd’s support . Fritz has also performed well at the US Open, making it to the quarter-finals last year.
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇩🇪 Alexander Zverev | 27 | 6,885 | 34 - 10 |
Fritz showcased his strength in his match against Casper Ruud, proving he’s a tough opponent when he’s on form. Zverev, although having a great year, isn’t unbeatable.
Head-to-head:
In their head-to-head record, Zverev leads 5-4. Their matches are usually close and competitive. The last time they met was at Wimbledon this year; despite leading by two sets, Zverev lost as he struggled physically.
They’ve played twice on American hard courts with each winning one match. Earlier this year in Rome, Zverev emerged victorious in their second encounter of 2023.
Fans might think this matchup is too close to call given their history. They haven’t faced each other at the US Open yet, but conditions might favor Fritz more due to his powerful serve.
Both players will rely heavily on their serves and converting opportunities will be key. Fritz is expected to play more aggressively to control points and increase his chances of winning.

Prediction:
Zverev’s skill in handling power shots makes him a strong contender for this match. His aggressive style could give him an edge over Fritz.
Fritz can be erratic at times as seen against Ruud. If that happens again, Zverev might take advantage and win. However, if Fritz plays his best tennis, he could come out on top too.
Prediction: Alexander Zverev to win in four sets.
What do you think? Will Zverev manage another victory?
