Jordan Thompson vs Alexander Zverev Prediction: The Australian is underrated

Prediction for the ATP Montreal Jordan Thompson vs Alexander Zverev match which will take place on August 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Montreal Masters is Jordan's third hardcourt event of the summer season. Before Montreal, the Australian reached the final of the Atlanta tournament, where he lost to Nishioka, and the quarter-finals of the Washington tournament, where he lost to Korda. The Australian has already beaten Britain's Draper in straight sets in Canada. That meeting lasted one hour and 32 minutes, and Jordan won 7:5, 6:2. Thompson served 5 aces and one double fault during the match, winning 73% of points on his first and 68% on his second. Return statistics: 32%/57%, winners/unforced errors statistics 19/8.

The Masters in Montreal is Zverev's first hard-court tournament in recent times. After Wimbledon, the German played a clay court tournament in Hamburg to prepare for the Olympics. In Paris, the German won three matches to reach the quarter-finals, where he lost in three sets to Italy's Musetti.

The Australian is underrated. Firstly, Thompson has the edge in matches against Zverev, including a win in 2024. Unlike the German, the Australian has had practice on hard courts in the summer of 2024, with two tournaments in Atlanta and Washington and a solid win over Draper in Montreal. Jordan will definitely give the German a fight today, and we wouldn't be surprised if the Australian beats Alexander again.
