The final day of the 2020 US Open will see Dominic Thiem take on Alexander Zverev. It is a battle between two prolific players who may revolutionize tennis for years to come.
Tennis is a sport of uncertainties in which comebacks are not uncommon. In fact, we saw Zverev make one of those comebacks in his semi-final against Pablo Carreño Busta. For the finale, fans are expecting an exciting finale with an exciting finale. A few hours before the finale is the time when fans start making predictions and experts go over the technicalities and decide which one is their favorite.
In an exclusive talk before the final, former World No. 1s and tennis legendary players Boris Becker and Mats Wilander gave their opinion.
“I lean towards Thiem” Becker said. “But I think there will only be a couple of points of difference. My instincts are favoring Thiem. Maybe it’s an advantage given that Dominic has already played a Slam final. “
“Maybe it’s a different mindset. Zverev is now in unfamiliar territory, he needs to start faster, it’s starting to cost him energy. In this final you are playing against another very strong player and you don’t have as many chances to win, so you have to start better ”. the German continued.
“I see no way that Dominic Thiem won’t win it”-Mats Wilander
“I would say that Thiem wins this final, not easily, but maybe in four sets.” said an enthusiastic Wilander.
While he agreed with Becker on most aspects, the former world number one also firmly believes that Zverev could cause another surprise.
“I don’t see a way for Thiem not to win it, but I have to say that I also don’t see a way for Zverev to come back after it was one set against Borna Coric and then two sets against Carreño Busta tonight,” added the Swede. “I certainly think that Zverev is much more difficult to beat than in the past and is difficult to beat. But now, Zverev has no pressure and has always played well without pressure ”.
The stage is set. The stakes are high. Both promising players will be desperate to win their first Grand Slam. Eventually, only one can be victorious and it will be the one who is able to control his nerves with force.
