Best bet – Auger-Aliassime to serve more aces
Auger-Aliassime to serve more aces
Although Zverev enters as the slight favourite, the ace market offers strong value. Despite his big serve, the German hasn’t dominated in this statistic so far — recording 5-7 aces vs Shelton and 7-12 vs Sinner.
Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime has served confidently, posting 9-3 vs Sinner and 9-7 vs Shelton. Given his excellent indoor form and rhythm on serve, it’s reasonable to expect Felix to once again outperform Zverev in this category.

Zverev form & stats
Zverev, aged 28 and currently ranked No. 3 in the world, continues to be one of the most consistent players on the ATP Tour. Although immensely talented, his biggest challenge remains psychological. The German has often struggled in crucial moments — notably in the 2020 US Open final, where he served for the match against Dominic Thiem before collapsing under pressure. He also lost his other two Grand Slam finals, at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, suggesting that his mental game still prevents him from joining tennis’s elite champions.
Despite this, Zverev’s résumé is impressive: multiple Masters titles, a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and a previous ATP Finals trophy. Statistically, he holds the record for most weeks in the Top 10 (over 350) without winning a Grand Slam, surpassing Tomas Berdych’s mark.
Zverev’s career has also been surrounded by off-court controversies, including allegations of domestic violence. Still, his perseverance and professionalism deserve credit, especially considering he competes while managing Type 1 diabetes, often injecting insulin during matches — a remarkable feat of discipline and resilience. Technically, Zverev remains one of the best all-around players in the game. He possesses a huge serve, solid baseline consistency, and surprising movement for his height. He finished last season as world No. 2, with titles in Madrid and Rome, and a Roland Garros final where he led Alcaraz by two sets to one before losing.
Auger-Aliassime form & stats
Auger-Aliassime, 25 years old and ranked No. 8 ATP, is finally starting to fulfill the immense promise that surrounded him early in his career. Once labeled a “future superstar,” the Canadian is now proving he belongs among the world’s best.
His development was steady but not without obstacles — injuries and occasional mental fragility delayed his rise. However, in recent seasons, he has become a more complete and mature competitor. Auger-Aliassime’s natural athleticism, strong serve, and heavy forehand make him dangerous on any surface, particularly indoors or on fast hard courts.In 2025, he’s enjoyed one of his most consistent campaigns, capturing three titles (Adelaide, Montpellier, and Brussels) and reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open, where he pushed Sinner to four sets. He also reached finals in Dubai and Paris, plus several semifinal appearances across the ATP circuit.
