Zverev vs Thiem Head-to-Head

Dominic Thiem leads Alexander Zverev 8-3 in Tour-level meetings. They last clashed at the 2021 Madrid Masters where Zverev won in straight sets. This first-round match in Halle will be their first career meeting on grass.

Zverev vs Thiem Prediction

A tough draw awaits Dominic Thiem on his first visit to Halle since 2018. Initially scheduled to face Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Canadian has withdrawn from the tournament, and that meant Alexander Zverev was bumped into his place to face the Austrian. Zverev and Thiem have been through career-threatening injuries. But the German appears much closer to his peak level, unlike Thiem, who since his return to the tour last year, has only produced spasmodic moments of brilliance. Zverev will most likely re-enter the top 20 with a great run this week. After a great run on clay, Zverev’s level can only go up a notch on grass. Back the German to ease into the second round on home soil.
