Analyzing their recent performances, Zverev holds a slight edge in second serve success, breakpoint-saving ability, and match win percentage over the past year. His experience in high-level competitions also lends him an edge.

However, Cerundolo's superior performance in returning serves, coupled with his 3-0 head-to-head record against Zverev, cannot be overlooked. His consistency in direct confrontations suggests a psychological advantage that could play a crucial role.

While Zverev seems better equipped on paper due to his strengths in saving breakpoints and converting opportunities, Cerundolo's direct wins and effective return game suggest he is likely to extend his winning streak in their head-to-head encounters. Therefore, Cerundolo is positioned as the likely winner of this upcoming match.
