Can Alexander Zverev win the French Open? But yes!

We can imagine why Alexander Zverev strikes at Roland Garros for the following reasons. At ComeOn! Zverev is sixth. With a odds of 28: 1. A bet of ten euros would mean a payment of 280 euros if the German won.

1 Zverev is going to the French Open this time without a lot of pressure. In 2017 and 2018 he traveled to the country with a 1000 victory, this year other players are the big favorites.

2 In Paris, Sascha nevertheless delivered its best Grand Slam result to date: the quarter-finals last year. With the unfortunate end against Dominic Thiem.

3 Ivan Lendl will finally be at Zverev's side again, in support of father Alexander Sr. In 1984, the great Ivan also took his first Grand Slam victory in Paris.

4 The experts agree: Everything is playful at Sascha, the mind must be clear. If he succeeds at the beginning of the tournament, his confidence increases. And everything is possible. Although Dusan Lajovic could wait in lap three. Then Fabio Fognini. And in the quarterfinals Novak Djokovic.

5 The higher the stakes, the better Alexander Zverev plays. See the wins against Djokovic in Rome 2017 and London 2019, against Thiem in Madrid 2018, or against Federer in Montreal 2017. And also the defeat against Nadal in Rome 2018, where only a break in the rain caused the turn.

6 Despite the season so far mixed, Sascha will still be number five in the tournament. So meet Djokovic, Nadal, Federer or Thiem in the quarterfinals at the earliest.

7 Zverev himself believes that he can win in Paris. He said that in Rome. And we just believe everything Sascha tells us.
