How will he play in the tournament this time? - the bets for the upcoming match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Alexander Zverev

Current form
Before his trip to Acapulco, Zverev played on clay in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. In both tournaments, Alexander only managed to reach the quarterfinals. The German has 11 wins and three losses this season.
Professional qualities
The almost two-meter-tall Zverev has excellent technique. His two-handed backhand is one of the most reliable and powerful among modern players. Alexander is able to withstand long draws - he can shoot the ball from the back line for a long time. He has a powerful serve that earns him easy points. In general, Zverev can be called a generalist, because he feels equally good on both hard and clay courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Zverev is the second racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the German tennis player has won 25 trophies, 23 of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Alexander won the Masters in Rome and Paris.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season, Zverev left the competition in Acapulco following the results of the first round.

Matteo Arnaldi

Current form
Arnaldi played his last tournament in mid-February. Then he took part in competitions in Delray Beach, in which he reached the semifinals - at this stage he lost to Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina. The Italian has five wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Arnaldi is a player who, despite his youth, shows maturity and wisdom in his approach to the game. He's only 23 years old, but even at that age, he boasts the ability to stay calm in the most intense moments of a match. Matteo prefers to play in a style focused on long draws, avoiding too risky shots and focusing on stability. In crucial moments, he's more focused on just keeping the ball in play, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. This style of play can be extremely effective in the future, especially in big matches, when nerves and stability are as important as technical skill.
Current indicators in the tour
Arnaldi is currently ranked 34th in the world. The Italian has won six trophies in his career. He completed the last one at the dirt challenger in Heilbronn.
Interesting facts for betting
Arnaldi has four wins in his last six fights.

2.06Tip and bets
Zverev has a good history of playing in Acapulco - he played in the finals here twice, one of which ended in his favor. However, last season Alexander left the tournament already in the first round. This time he got an opponent who is unlikely to be able to stop Zverev at the start. Arnaldi has not yet gained enough playing form, but he is able to rattle the nerves of the German, especially considering that Zverev has not been perfect for the last two weeks.
Our prediction is that Arnaldi will win with a handicap of (+4) games for a coefficient of 1.88
