Alex de Minaur vs Zizou Bergs Prediction, Odds & Tips | Davis Cup 2025 Sydney
On 14 September 2025, Alex de Minaur and Zizou Bergs will clash in what is being considered the most pivotal clash in the Australia v Belgium Davis Cup Qualifiers on Sydney soil. De Minaur, the ATP No. 8 ranked singles player, will want to make up for the disappointment of Day 1, while Bergs, currently his team's No. 1 singles player lying at 46 in the ATP rankings, will look for a second win to give his team an advantage. Such reverse singles could well be the shoe that fits in the deciding leg to propel fewer than eight teams to the Davis Cup Final 8. Eyes will be upon this one for wagering and outright entertainment.
Claim Welcome Bonus🇦🇺 Alex de Minaur
De Minaur is entering this reverse singles as Australia's No. 1, currently placed at world No. 8 with around 3,545 ATP points. Alex claimed his 10th ATP singles title at the Washington Open in July 2025, saving three championship points against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in a dramatic final. He reached the Quarterfinals of the 2025 US Open but went down to Félix Auger-Aliassime in four sets. De Minaur has a strong reputation on hard courts and thrives when in front of the home crowd, doing well in venues such as Ken Rosewall Arena. Physically fit and well defended in his opening rubber although having to be careful not to let momentum slide away from him to Bergs. There will surely be much expectation on his shoulders, and the mental game will be just as important as the physical one in this instance.
🇧🇪 Zizou Bergs
Zizou Bergs is Belgium's number one singles player for the tie at No. 46 ATP in singles, coming into the tie on a series of strong results in 2025. Though he has yet to win an ATP singles title, he made the third round of the US Open in 2025, his finest result in any Grand Slam to date, suggesting an upward trend in consistency in the majors. His game is really well balanced with solid return progression, steady baseline depth, and now more aggression on his second serves. He has the experience of tight pressure matches that will come handy in the Davis Cup. He has little experience, however, in extended multi-set dramas against top-10 players at the highest level, which somewhat might prove to be a disadvantage. But on the upside, given the win must come from Australia, Bergs is less stressed than De Minaur, which could lend to his composure.
