Alcaraz arrives to his third Grand Slam final with a soaring confidence. The 21-year-old Spaniard has a spotless 2-0 record in such matches, including a 10-1 set performance. Alcaraz has posted a record of 11-3 on clay this year. His lone win of the year comes from the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

He comes off an instant classic against rival Jannik Sinner in the semifinals. The five-set thriller finally concluded with a 6-3 victory after just over four hours. It was emotional and physically draining but he will need to recharge for what could be Deja vu. Prior to the tussle, he was nearly unstoppable, dropping just one set in his first five matches.

Alcatraz gets the advantage in the forehand department. He also tilts as the more agile and crafty of the two. His clutch gene has risen time and time again. That might be the difference in an otherwise even match.

It would be his first Grand Slam victory since winning a five-set match over Novak Djokovic back at Wimbledon in 2023. He is the youngest man since 1968 to make a major final on all three surfaces (clay, hard, grass).

The fourth times the charm for Zverev. The 27-year-old German finally broke through after three consecutive French Open semifinal losses. It’s the second Grand Slam final for Zverev. He remains haunted by his first encounter after botching a two-set start to Dominic Thiem in the 2020 US Open final. While Alcaraz has been stellar under pressure, Zverev is known to falter on large stages.

If this matchup lives up to the hype, Zverev has been strong in five set matches with a record of 23-11. His serving skills are also strongly ahead of his foe. Zverev also boasts a pristine 16-3 record on clay.

He has had a much tougher road to this point, battling through a pair of five setters in the third and fourth round before defeating Alex De Minaur in straight sets and taking down Casper Ruud with a 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 victory to avenge last year’s French Open semifinal loss.

Zverev leads Alcaraz in the head-to-head at 5-4. Zverev claimed four-set quarterfinal wins at the 2022 French Open and the 2024 Australian Open earlier this year. Alcaraz returned the favor with victories at last year’s US Open and back in March at Indian Wells.

A pair of two-handed backhand masters will collide. One will emerge as a champion.
