Alexander Zverev vs Jannik Sinner: US Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Alexander Zverev, alongside the talented Grigor Dimitrov, delivered two exceptional sets in the US Open’s third round. Despite facing challenges in the second set, Zverev made a remarkable comeback from a 2-4 deficit, dealing a crucial blow to Dimitrov, who struggled to recover. Dimitrov only managed to win two games in the subsequent third and fourth sets. Zverev is currently performing close to his peak, showing consistent improvement since his return from injury in January 2023. He has patiently worked for his breakthrough and now poses a significant challenge to any opponent if he maintains this level and avoids physical setbacks. At the US Open, Zverev has reached the second week 16 times, a feat exceeded only by Novak Djokovic among active players. His recent performances at the tournament, including reaching the 2020 final and a close semifinal match against Djokovic, have been impressive.

Jannik Sinner had a strong US Open preparation and is in excellent form. He convincingly defeated Yannick Hanfmann and Lorenzo Sonego in the early rounds, followed by a four-set victory over former champion Stan Wawrinka in the third round, securing a spot in the second week. Unlike Alexander Zverev, Sinner made his mark quickly in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the round of 16 for the tenth time in just 16 main-draw appearances. His record at this stage is 5-4, with all four losses against top-20 players. This is Sinner’s third consecutive round-of-16 match at the US Open. In 2021, he lost to Zverev in straight sets but bounced back in 2022 with a tough five-set win over Ilya Ivashka before falling to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
