The protagonists for the Final in the ATP 1000 in Rome are already defined, so next Sunday, May 19th Alexander Zverev and Nicolas Jarry will dispute such an unexpected match to define who’s going to be Daniil Medvedev’s successor, and even when the bookmakers’ odds are putting Zverev as the favorite, it’s clear that Jarry is going to leave everything on the court trying to emulate Marcelo Rios, Chilean player that won this tournament back in 1998.

However, Alexander Zverev is going to show all the capabilities that allowed him to be in this final instance after defeating players with a very high quality such as Borges, Fritz and Tabilo. In this regard, it’s necessary to remember that Tabilo was the only player that achieved to win one set against Zverev in the tournament, so Zverev must try to avoid losing another one in the final or the match could turn into a nightmare for him.

On Nicolas Jarry’s case, he hasn’t been as effective as Zverev was as his last 2 matches in a row lasted three sets during his victories against Paul and Tsitsipas, factor that could affect his performance in the final as he could be exhausted. Even so, the stamina of being in such an important instance may cause him to be overwhelmed and committing more unforced errors than expected in the early game.
