Alexander Zverev vs Yunchaokete Bu Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Rio Open
by Daniel Ngulu | in Tennis Predictions
Top seed Alexander Zverev will face off with the unseeded Bu Yunchaokete when he begins his debut run at the Rio Open. They will battle in the first round with the winner taking on Alexander Shevchenko for a place in the quarter-finals. Below is our prediction for this match.
Alexander Zverev is aiming to win his first title of the season. The German lost in the Australian Open final back in January.
In his next event, however, he failed to produce another strong run and was eliminated in the quarter-finals in Buenos Aires. As a clay court specialist, the world number two will be confident of a deeper run in Rio.
Zverev has claimed nine wins in 11 outings thus far.
Bu Yunchaokete is also making his debut in Rio. The Chinese number three isn’t a strong clay player but is also having a poor start to the season.
In nine outings this season, Yunchaokete, who has a 3-6 record competing on clay, has lost six times. Currently placed 66th in the live ranking, Yunchaokete is coming off a second-round exit from the Delray Beach Open.
The 24-year-old has contested three matches against ATP top 10 players in his career and has lost twice.

Our Alexander Zverev vs Yunchaokete Bu Prediction
Our prediction for Alexander Zverev v Bu Yunchaokete is for Alexander Zverev to win under 12.5 games. Zverev has been in terrific form this season and through 11 matches, he has lost just twice. We expect a dominant display from the world number two against Yunchaokete who is having a poor campaign.
In the four best-of-three set matches he has contested, Zverev has won under 12.5 games three times. Yunchaokete has also failed to win a set in two of his three meetings with ATP top 10 players. As he has struggled on clay surfaces throughout his career, he may fail to frustrate Zverev who is a clay specialist.
