Alexander Zverev vs Diego Schwartzman match preview

Alexander Zverev's dream run on the hard courts has started to show some signs of the stress that the World No. 7 must be feeling. Discount the French Open and Zverev has reached the finals of the last five tournaments he has featured in. Of the recent four, the 23-year old has the distinction of having won consecutive titles at the bett1HULKS series. However, throughout the year, there has been one overwhelming feature that makes or breaks Zverev's game - his serve. Serving at 224 km/h Zverev's first serve is fearsome. But when it fails, it does so equally spectacularly. 

If he has to survive this encounter and make it to the final today, Zverev's key to victory will be to master the first serve and get his second serves in. For Schwartzman, the key will be his return and his own service games. After losing his first game to Novak Djokovic 3-6, 2-6, Schwartzman will have to win this to keep his semifinal hopes alive. The stakes are equally high for Zverev, who lost 3-6, 4-6 to Daniil Medvedev and is now fighting for a chance to recreate his 2018 finals win.
