 Carlos Alcárez vs. Alexander Zverev. The first match in the group stage, but both of these guys. And they're both coming in with a little bit of sketchy form. Alexander Zverev comes back into the ADB finals this year, as the number seven in the world caused last year being injured around this time. So it's been a great rise up the ranks again. It's very good to qualify. Best results winning this title back in 2018 and also in 2021. You'll be able to try and defend that title from two years ago after, of course, not playing last year. His record this year, 53 wins, 26 losses winning two out of the four finals that he's played as well. His best win was against Daniel Mervadev in Cincinnati during that US Open swing. And his worst loss was actually at the start of the year against Moru at the Australian Open as he was starting to make his comeback. His form lately has been a bit sketchy with five losses in his last 10 matches. We do know that he plays really well at this event. And with this round-robin format, anything could happen. Carlos Alcárez comes into the ADB finals as the number two in the world and will actually make his debut at the finals. Even though last year he did qualify, of course, having to pull out though with injury. So first time we'll see him here. His record this year, 63 wins, 10 losses. And his titles and finals, six titles from the eight finals, the only two losses he's had in finals was to Djokovic in Cincinnati and actually to Norrie at the start of the year in Rio de Janeiro. His best win, Djokovic at Wimbledon, of course, one of the biggest achievements of his career. And his worst loss came in Rome against the qualify from Hungary, Marijan. And it was just after Madrid where Alcárez actually won the title. So it was a big shock. His form, however, hasn't been good coming into this finals with a couple of losses after a long injury delay and not playing a lot of tournaments after the U.S. Open. This guy's played six times a fall with the head-to-head split down the middle, 3-3. However, Alcárez has won that last two matches in straight sets and Zverev hasn't won a match against Alcárez in nearly 18 months. Of course, that famous French Open upset of 2022. If Zverev's gonna win this one, he needs to use the conditions to his advantage. He's a great player indoors and especially at the ADB finals having won this event two times in the last five. So he's gonna get off to a good start and really bully Alcárez from the ground strokes. Be aggressive, not just stand back and expect Alcárez to miss shots. If Alcárez is gonna win this one, he needs to bring the variety and also it needs to be healthy because we know that the last couple of weeks he has been struggling both physically and a little bit mentally as well. Hasn't won a title since Wimbledon, of course, the big famous stat there but he's gonna have to get off to a good start against someone who thrives on the indoor courts. What a great matchup and a very interesting matchup as well. You know, you'd expect that Alcárez most times would win this match based on their recent form but Zverev could push him but I do think Alcárez will get the win in the end. I think Zverev might be a little bit too defensive in his return to the ADB finals and I think Alcárez might get him in the first match but let me know in the comments below who's gonna win this one.
