Lukas Klein was not supposed to give Alexander Zverev such problems in the second round of the AO-2024. The match between the German and the Slovak lasted 4 hours and 37 minutes and was won by Zverev 7:5, 366, 4:6, 7:6, 7:6. The tie-break in the fifth set ended at 10:7. During the match, Zverev made 21 aces and two double faults, winning 78% of the points on his first serve and 40% on his second. Return statistic: 26:41%, winners/unforced errors statistic: 49/36. 

Before the Australian Open, Alex Michelsen played two hardcourt tournaments in which he played six matches, winning four and losing two. In Melbourne, the American defeated the Australian McCabe and the Czech Lehecka in 4 sets. The game against Lehecka lasted two hours and 43 minutes, 4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 6:4 in favor of Michelsen. Alex made 7 aces and three double faults, winning 79% of the points on first and 56% on second serve. Return statistics: 32%/40%, winners/unforced errors 30/36.

Zverev's situation is similar to Daniil Medvedev's. The German needs to stay fresh before the decisive matches and one or two more long matches, and Alexander will not be able to compete physically with the strongest tennis players who came to Melbourne. Considering all this, we believe that Zverev will do his best to win on Saturday in the shortest possible time.
