What Time Will Alexander Zverev Play Against Jacob Fearnley?
Zverev and Fearnley are on the Day 4 Schedule at Miami Open Presented By Itau 2025 on Saturday 22 March 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 German tennis player, will be facing off against Jacob Fearnley from Great Britain. Zverev currently leads their head-to-head record 1-0. Their previous match took place at the Australian Open, where Zverev won in straight sets, with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
Zverev, who is 27 years old, is currently the world number 2. He achieved his career-high ranking after recovering from tearing three ligaments in his right ankle during the 2022 Roland Garros semi-final against Nadal. Zverev had an impressive 2021 season, winning six titles and surpassing all players born since 1990 with a total of 23 career titles. Notably, he defeated the number one ranked player, Djokovic, on several occasions, most notably at the 2018 Nitto ATP Finals, 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and 2021 Nitto ATP Finals championships. Zverev reached his first Grand Slam final at the 2020 US Open but unfortunately lost to Thiem after squandering a two-set lead. He also had victories over well-known players such as Nadal and Djokovic, proving his skill and ability on the court.
For Zverev, this tournament in Miami holds special significance. He is aiming to become the German player with the most ATP Masters 1000 match wins in series history, surpassing Tommy Haas. Additionally, he has a strong track record against British players, with an impressive 12-2 win-loss record since the start of the 2017 season. However, he has suffered two losses to Andy Murray and hopes to avoid leaving the Sunshine Double tournament without a win for the first time in his career.
The tournament will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, from March 19-30, 2025. Zverev will be looking to make his mark and continue his successful season.
On the other side of the match, we have Jacob Fearnley, a 23-year-old British player currently ranked 83rd in the world. Fearnley’s career has been on an upward trajectory, with significant improvements in his rankings over the past couple of years. He broke into the top 500 in June 2024, climbed to the top 200 in August 2024, and reached a career-high ranking of 77th in January 2025 after reaching the third round of the Australian Open.
Fearnley made his ATP Tour debut at the 2024 Eastbourne tournament as a wildcard entry and secured his first tour-level win at Wimbledon where he defeated Moro Canas before falling to Djokovic in the second round. He had an outstanding record in Challenger tournaments in 2024, with a win percentage of 90% and multiple titles to his name. Fearnley also had successes in his junior career, including wins over future world number ones Alcaraz and Sinner. He spent five years playing college tennis for Texas Christian University, where he became a four-time ITA All-American and helped his team win the national championship in his final year.
Fearnley recorded his first ATP Masters 1000 win of his career by defeating Bonzi in the first round of the Miami tournament. Although he has a 0-2 record against top 30 players, losing to Djokovic in Wimbledon and Zverev in the Australian Open, Fearnley is aiming for the biggest win of his career by becoming the first player to defeat a number one seed in their first match in Miami since Kokkinakis in 2018, who defeated Federer.
