Zverev and Cerundolo are on the Day 5 Schedule at Ieb+ Argentina Open 2025 on Friday 14 February 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Alexander Zverev, a 27-year-old German tennis player, is currently ranked World No. 2, his career-high ranking. He achieved this ranking after tearing three ligaments in his right ankle during the 2022 Roland Garros semifinals against Nadal. Zverev has had a successful career so far, winning six titles in 2021 and a total of 23 career titles, the most among players born since 1990. He has also defeated top players like Djokovic on multiple occasions, notably in the 2018 Nitto ATP Finals, 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and 2021 Nitto ATP Finals championships.

Zverev’s notable achievements include reaching his first Grand Slam final at the 2020 US Open, where he came back from a two-set deficit to defeat Carreno Busta in the semifinals, but ultimately lost to Thiem in the final after squandering a two-set lead. He also had impressive victories over Nadal in the 2024 Roland Garros and Djokovic in the 2025 Australian Open. Additionally, Zverev has won six ATP Masters 1000 titles, including wins against Djokovic and Federer.

It is worth mentioning that Zverev is aiming for his 72nd tour-level semifinal and his 25th on clay, which would also be his first in South America. He has a strong record against fellow top 30 players, with a 10-3 record since October. Zverev also has the opportunity to become the first German semifinalist in the history of the tournament.

Francisco Cerundolo, a 26-year-old Argentine tennis player, is currently ranked World No. 28, his career-high ranking being No. 19. He broke into the top 100 in 2022 and reached his career-high ranking soon after reaching the fourth round of the 2023 Roland Garros, defeating No. 8 Fritz in the process. Cerundolo has made significant progress in his career, including a win against No. 5 Ruud en route to his first ATP Tour title in Bastad and a victory against No. 8 Rublev en route to the Hamburg semifinals in consecutive weeks. He also became the first Argentine ATP Tour champion on grass since Frana in 1995 when he won the Eastbourne title in 2023.

Cerundolo has had notable moments in tournaments as well. As the World No. 103 at the 2022 Miami Open, he became the lowest-ranked semifinalist in the tournament’s history and the first player to reach the semifinals in his ATP Masters 1000 main draw debut since Janowicz in 2012. It is also interesting to note that Cerundolo comes from a family with a strong tennis background. His father, Alejandro, also played professional tennis, and his younger brother, Juan Manuel, won the 2021 Cordoba title. Additionally, his sister, Constanza, played for the Argentine field hockey team that won a gold medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics.

In the upcoming match, Cerundolo will be looking to defeat his older brother once again and reach his 12th ATP Tour semifinal. He has a 5-6 record in semifinals and has had previous success in the Buenos Aires tournament, reaching the final in 2021 and the quarterfinals in 2022 and 2023. Cerundolo has a 3-4 record against top 5 players, including two losses against top 2 players. He aims to become the first Argentinian to defeat a top-2 player since Schwartzman beat Nadal at the 2020 ATP Masters 1000 Rome, as well as the first Argentine player to earn a top 2 win on Argentinian soil since Calleri defeated No. 2 Kuerten in the first round of the 2002 Buenos Aires tournament.
