Alexander Zverev vs Félix Auger-Aliassime: Will the German beat the Canadian Again?

There is a problematic situation in Group C - 4 teams have one win and one defeat each. The one losing tomorrow is out of the draw, and the winner might not continue to play in the ATP Cup playoffs. Logically, the leaders of the German and Canadian national teams will do everything possible to defeat the opponent.

Alexander Zverev's winning streak has lasted for five matches. After losing to Medvedev at the ATP Finals in the group stage, Alexander beat Daniil in the final in Turin. Before that, he was more robust than Hurkacz and Djokovic. In Sydney, Alexander beat Norrie and Fritz, both in two sets, which indicates that the first racket of Germany is in excellent form. Considering that Auger has problems in the matches against Zverev on hard court, we doubt that the Canadian has a real chance of winning the upcoming meeting.

Sometimes I slept, sometimes I thought I'd already be back in the hotel room. Until the last game it was a good level for my second match of year. It was very intense and hard hitting. The most important thing is that team Germany won and we gave ourselves the best chance to qualify for the semi-finals.

Unlike Zverev, Auger-Aliassime did not play at the Finals in Turin. Having lost to Shapovalov in Stockholm, the Canadian finished the season on November 12, 2021. Félix had two fights in Sydney. At first, Auger-Aliassime fell to Fritz, and his team got whitewashed by the US team, which is now the leader of Group C. Two days later, Auger turned out to be stronger than Norrie. Due to this victory, Canada won against Great Britain and kept the chances of the playoffs. Again, the upcoming leaders' match may decide the fate of winning the duel and a place in the ATP Cup playoffs.

Do you know how many games Zverev and Auger have already played with each other within the tournament? Seven - six victories of the German, one of Auger. The Canadian beat Alexander at Wimbledon-2021, losing on a clay court once in Monte Carlo and five on hard. The German is a big favourite because the ATP Cup is not held on grass. Plus, Zverev is in great shape, the leader of the German national team is rushing to the semi-finals, and he needs to beat the leader of the Canadian national team.
