Zverev vs Aliassime: Prediction
The weight of Team World will be on the young shoulders of Felix Aliassime as they try to keep their hopes alive in the Laver Cup on Sunday. On the other hand, Zverev and co. will be quite confident of getting the job done for Bjorn Borg.
Felix Auger-Aliassime has displayed some high quality tennis this year with a range of shots in his armory. Although, Aliassime lost his first and only game of the tournament so far to Italy's Matteo Berrettini, the Canadian would be go into this game with much confidence.
Alexander Zverev has the opportunity to repeat his heroics in 2019 when he helped Team Europe win the Laver Cup with a win over Milos Raonic.
We feel Zverev has a strong presence on the hard courts, and his better head to head record against Aliassime would give him the perfect opportunity to avenge the Wimbledon round of 16 defeat to his Sunday's opponent.
Prediction: Alexander Zverev to win the match in three sets.
