Alexander Zverev vs Alexandre Muller preview
Fourth seed and one of the favorites to win the title, Alexander Zverev will look to keep his US Open campaign on track when he takes on Alexandre Muller of France in the second round. The World No. 4 has been in splendid form in 2024 as his record of 53-16 suggests. The German's one title came at the Italian Open where he defeated Nicolas Jarry for the trophy.
Zverev also reached the finals of the French Open and the Hamburg Open, losing them to Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils respectively. The German had a good Grand Slam year in 2024, reaching the semi-final of the Australian Open and making it to the summit clash at Roland Garros. At the ongoing US Open, he defeated fellow countryman Maximilian Marterer in four sets in the first round.
Alexandre Muller has a 14-15 win/loss record in 2024, which indicates a season of meager returns for the Frenchman. Reaching the quarter-final of the Auckland Open has been the best result for the World No. 77.
The second round was the most that Muller had reached at Grand Slams in 2024. He reached the second rounds of both the French Open and Wimbledon, losing to Matteo Arnaldi and Daniil Medvedev. At the US Open, he defeated Adam Walton of Australia in four sets in the first round.

Alexander Zverev vs Alexandre Muller prediction
Zverev is a former finalist at Flushing Meadows, having lost the 2020 final to Dominic Thiem. Overall he has a 23-8 record in New York, with a win ratio of over 70 percent. He was not at his fluent best in the first round against Marterer, but it can be expected that the fourth seed will sharpen up his game as the event progresses.
The previous win against Walton was the first time that Muller had won a match at the US Open main draw. The win will give the Frenchman some confidence before he takes on the World No. 4.
Being the fourth seed, the German is the overwhelming favorite to win this match and continue his campaign in New York for his maiden Major.
Pick- Zverev to win in straight sets
