Lucas Pouille vs Alexander Zverev Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Australian Open
by Daniel Ngulu | in ATP Australian Open Predictions
Second seed Alexander Zverev will play wildcard Lucas Pouille to begin his campaign at the 2025 Australian Open. The winner will then face Pedro Martinez or Luciano Darderi in the second round. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Pouille has returned to Melbourne after a two-year hiatus. The Frenchman produced a shock run to the semi-finals in the 2019 edition. It remains the only time he has won a main draw match here.
He hopes to rise against the odds again on his return. Pouille, who has also earned quarter-final finishes at Wimbledon and the US Open, lost in the qualifying rounds in Brisbane. He sits 103rd in the live ranking.
This won't be the first time Zverev and Pouille face off. They first met six years ago at the Hopman Cup with Zverev winning in three sets. Another win for the German could be on the cards given his strong major performances.
Zverev is a two-time Grand Slam finalist and has made the semi-finals six times. Two of those last four berths were achieved in Melbourne, the latest being last season.
Zverev had an impeccable 2024 campaign, winning 71 matches and making it to at least 10 semi-finals. He won titles in Rome and Paris and also finished as runner-up at the French Open.
His performances catapulted him up to a career-high second place in the ATP.
