TennisSection previews the 2023 Madrid Open third-round match featuring Alexander Zverev vs. Hugo Grenier on Sunday, April 30, 2023.

Alexander Zverev vs. Hugo Grenier Preview

Will Alexander Zverev get the win? Will Hugo Grenier pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the two-time Madrid champion looking to continue to build his form. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Madrid Open?

Alexander Zverev needed three sets and had to save a match point to eventually bagel Carballes Baena in the decider, showing great resilience to return to book a meeting against Hugo Grenier. Although he certainly comes in as the favorite, he has been shaky at times and will need to be rock solid if he wants to come through convincingly here at the 2023 Madrid Open.

Hugo Grenier took down Sebastian Korda in two tight tiebreakers, shutting down the American’s return from a tough wrist injury. If he wants to take down Alexander Zverev, he’ll have to pray Zverev is suffering from his injury recovery as well, or else I don’t see much of a chance for him at the German’s very best tournament here at the 2023 Madrid Open.

Alexander Zverev vs. Hugo Grenier Prediction and Pick

Alexander Zverev and Hugo Grenier have never met before, with this being their first career meeting. Zverev’s game is complemented extremely well by these courts, with a massive first serve and heavy groundstrokes and the ability to grind out points, Zverev will be looking to play some of the best tennis of his comeback so far and book a spot in the last 16 of the 2023 Madrid Open.
