This will be their 2nd meeting and in their only meeting Zverev won 7-6 (4), 6-2 over Carreño Busta at the 2018 Miami Open semifinal.

Coincidentally, both Zverev and Carreño Busta are in their 2nd ever slam semifinal.

Just like the Carreño Busta/Shapovalov QF match, this is somewhat a close call. I am slightly leaning towards Zverev over Carreño Busta just because Zverev can overpower PCB with his serve and Zverev will not over hit a lot balls against PCB unlike Shapovalov. However, I would not be totally surprise if PCB wins the match in 4 or 5 sets.

I can actually see PCB beating Zverev sadly. Not because he's a better player, but he's just so stable. He'll let Sascha find a way to lose it. If Zverev wins it, it's because he just blows PCB out. I'm just not sure he has the stones to do it yet.

Seems right. I voted for PCB in 4.

It’s obvious that PCB’s plan is to move Zverev around because so far he’s been hitting left right left right left right... We’ll see if it’s going to work...

Didn’t see the Coric-Zverev match, at least the night match should be good!
