Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

No. 2 Alexander Zverev from Germany will be facing Jacob Fearnley from Great Britain. This will be their first meeting. Zverev has previously lost Grand Slam matches to players ranked as low as No. 92, which includes his defeat to No. 107 Michael Mmoh in the 2nd round of the Australian Open in 2022. His other defeats to low-ranked players occurred at Wimbledon against No. 105 Denis Kudla in 2015, No. 138 Ernests Gulbis in 2018, and No. 124 Jiri Vesely in 2019.

Zverev, age 27, has an ATP ranking of 2, while Fearnley, age 23, is ranked 92. Zverev has won 23 titles throughout his career, while Fearnley is yet to win a title. Zverev has a career Grand Slam record of 103-35, while Fearnley has a record of 3-1. In terms of their Australian Open record, Zverev has a record of 27-9, while Fearnley has a record of 2-0. Both players have a positive career record on hard courts, with Zverev boasting a record of 277-123 and Fearnley having a record of 3-1. In the 2025 season, Zverev is undefeated with a 4-0 record, including a 2-0 record on hard courts. Fearnley, on the other hand, also has a 2-0 record this season.

Zverev is aiming to reach the round of 16 at the Australian Open for the 6th time. With a win, he would equal Boris Becker’s record for the most round of 16 appearances by a German man at the Australian Open. Zverev has already reached the round of 16 at a Grand Slam 20 times, placing him second on the list for most Grand Slam round of 16 appearances by a German man, behind Becker.

Zverev has had previous success at the Australian Open, having reached the semifinals last year and in 2020. He has also been a finalist at the US Open in 2020 and Roland Garros in 2024. In 2024, Zverev reached the quarterfinals at the US Open and the round of 16 at Wimbledon. If Zverev wins the title at this year’s Australian Open, it would be his first Grand Slam title, and he would join the likes of Stan Wawrinka and Goran Ivanisevic as players who won their first major titles after a certain number of attempts.

Fearnley is looking to reach the round of 16 at a Grand Slam for the first time in his debut appearance at the Australian Open. He has previously reached the 2nd round at Wimbledon, but this is his first appearance at a Grand Slam in either the main draw or qualifying. Fearnley’s best result came at the Canberra Challenger, where he reached the semifinals. He broke into the top 100 rankings last year and currently sits at No. 92.

In their head-to-head matchup, Zverev is the favorite due to his higher ranking and experience. However, Fearnley has shown promise and is seeking to make a breakthrough at this year’s Australian Open. The match between Zverev and Fearnley will be an intriguing battle between a highly-ranked player and an up-and-coming talent.
